About "pass" in BIP39
- "pass" has 4 letters, but the first three, "pas", already identify it, because "pa" also begins 24 other words, among them pact, paddle, page and pair. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "pass" is unique only within the English list: it also begins passion in the French list, passivo in the Italian list and passado in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
