About "patrol" in BIP39
- "patrol" has 6 letters, but the first four, "patr", already identify it, because "pat" also begins patch, path, patient and pattern.
- "patr" is unique only within the English list: it also begins patron in the French list, patria in the Spanish list, patrono in the Portuguese list and patrona in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "patrol" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #24 (word 16 of 24). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words.
