About "gesture" in BIP39
- "gesture" has 7 letters, but the first three, "ges", already identify it, because "ge" also begins general, genius, genre, gentle and genuine. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "gest" is unique only within the English list: it also begins gestuel in the French list, gesto in the Spanish list and gestor in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
