About "globe" in BIP39

  • "globe" has 5 letters, but the first four, "glob", already identify it, because "glo" also begins gloom, glory, glove and glow.
  • The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #920 (index 919), not #795. A wallet set to French reads "globe" as 01110010111 instead of 01100011010, and decodes index 794 as "fasciner".
  • "glob" is unique only within the English list: it also begins globo in the Spanish list, globulo in the Italian list and global in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
