About "oxygen" in BIP39
- Two letters are enough: no other BIP39 word begins with "ox", which makes "oxygen" one of only 34 words that can be told apart this early.
- "oxyg" is unique only within the English list: it also begins oxygène in the French list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
