About "ritual" in BIP39
- "ritual" has 6 letters, but the first three, "rit", already identify it, because "ri" also begins 15 other words, among them rib, ribbon, rice and rich. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "ritu" is unique only within the English list: it also begins rituel in the French list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
