About "pelican" in BIP39
- "pelican" has 7 letters, but the first three, "pel", already identify it, because "pe" also begins 13 other words, among them peace, peanut, pear and peasant. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "peli" is unique only within the English list: it also begins peligro in the Spanish list and pelicano in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
