About "island" in BIP39
- "island" has 6 letters, but the first three, "isl", already identify it, because "is" also begins isolate and issue. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "isla" is unique only within the English list: it also begins isla in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
