About "veteran" in BIP39
- "veteran" has 7 letters, but the first three, "vet", already identify it, because "ve" also begins 10 other words, among them vehicle, velvet, vendor and venture. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "vete" is unique only within the English list: it also begins veterano in the Italian list and veterina in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
