About "ginger" in BIP39
- "ginger" has 6 letters, but the first three, "gin", already identify it, because "gi" also begins giant, gift, giggle, giraffe, girl and give. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "ging" is unique only within the English list: it also begins gingado in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
