About "mammal" in BIP39
- "mammal" has 6 letters, but the first three, "mam", already identify it, because "ma" also begins 32 other words, among them machine, mad, magic and magnet. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "mamm" is unique only within the English list: it also begins mammouth in the French list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
