About "olive" in BIP39
- "olive" has 5 letters, but the first three, "oli", already identify it, because "ol" also begins old and olympic. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "oliv" is unique only within the English list: it also begins olivier in the French list, olivo in the Spanish list, oliva in the Italian list and oliveira in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
