About "oblige" in BIP39
- "oblige" has 6 letters, but the first three, "obl", already identify it, because "ob" also begins obey, object, obscure, observe, obtain and obvious. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "obli" is unique only within the English list: it also begins obliger in the French list, oblio in the Italian list and obliba in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
