About "honey" in BIP39
- "honey" has 5 letters, but the first three, "hon", already identify it, because "ho" also begins 17 other words, among them hobby, hockey, hold and hole. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "hone" is unique only within the English list: it also begins honesto in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
