About "pistol" in BIP39
- "pistol" has 6 letters, but the first three, "pis", already identify it, because "pi" also begins 13 other words, among them piano, picnic, picture and piece. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "pist" is unique only within the English list: it also begins piston in the French list, pista in the Spanish list, pistola in the Portuguese list and pistole in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
