About "protect" in BIP39

  • "protect" has 7 letters, but the first four, "prot", already identify it, because "pro" also begins 12 other words, among them problem, process, produce and profit.
  • "prot" is unique only within the English list: it also begins protéger in the French list, proteso in the Italian list, protetor in the Portuguese list and proton in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
