About "urge" in BIP39
- "urge" has 4 letters, but the first three, "urg", already identify it, because "ur" also begins urban. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "urge" is unique only within the English list: it also begins urgente in the Spanish list and urgenza in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
