About "imitate" in BIP39
- "imitate" has 7 letters, but the first three, "imi", already identify it, because "im" also begins 7 other words, among them image, immense, immune and impact. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "imit" is unique only within the English list: it also begins imiter in the French list, imitar in the Spanish list and imitador in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
