About "prevent" in BIP39
- "prevent" has 7 letters, but the first four, "prev", already identify it, because "pre" also begins predict, prefer, prepare, present and pretty.
- "prev" is unique only within the English list: it also begins previo in the Spanish list, prevalso in the Italian list and prevenir in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
