About "lecture" in BIP39
- "lecture" has 7 letters, but the first three, "lec", already identify it, because "le" also begins 17 other words, among them leader, leaf, learn and leave. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1124 (index 1123), not #1017. A wallet set to French reads "lecture" as 10001100011 instead of 01111111000, and decodes index 1016 as "immuable".
- "lect" is unique only within the English list: it also begins lector in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
