About "february" in BIP39
- "february" has 8 letters, but the first three, "feb", already identify it, because "fe" also begins 11 other words, among them feature, federal, fee and feed. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "febr" is unique only within the English list: it also begins febrero in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
