About "junior" in BIP39

  • "junior" has 6 letters, but the first four, "juni", already identify it, because "jun" also begins jungle and junk.
  • The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1094 (index 1093), not #970. A wallet set to French reads "junior" as 10001000101 instead of 01111001001, and decodes index 969 as "hélium".
  • "juni" is unique only within the English list: it also begins junio in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
  • "junior" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #21 (word 17 of 24). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words.
