About "gaze" in BIP39
- "gaze" has 4 letters, but the first three, "gaz", already identify it, because "ga" also begins 16 other words, among them gadget, gain, galaxy and gallery. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "gaze" is unique only within the English list: it also begins gazelle in the French list, gazebo in the Italian list and gazela in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
