About "gorilla" in BIP39
- "gorilla" has 7 letters, but the first three, "gor", already identify it, because "go" also begins 9 other words, among them goat, goddess, gold and good. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "gori" is unique only within the English list: it also begins gorille in the French list and gorila in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "gorilla" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #18 (word 4 of 24). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words.
