About "never" in BIP39
- "never" has 5 letters, but the first three, "nev", already identify it, because "ne" also begins 14 other words, among them near, neck, need and negative. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "neve" is unique only within the English list: it also begins neveu in the French list, nevera in the Spanish list and neve in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
