About "mosquito" in BIP39
- "mosquito" has 8 letters, but the first three, "mos", already identify it, because "mo" also begins 20 other words, among them mobile, model, modify and mom. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "mosq" is unique only within the English list: it also begins mosquete in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
