About "test" in BIP39
- "test" has 4 letters, but the first three, "tes", already identify it, because "te" also begins 9 other words, among them teach, team, tell and ten. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "test" is unique only within the English list: it also begins testigo in the Spanish list, testato in the Italian list and testado in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
