About "village" in BIP39
- "village" has 7 letters, but the first three, "vil", already identify it, because "vi" also begins 15 other words, among them viable, vibrant, vicious and victory. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #2009 (index 2008), not #1953. A wallet set to French reads "village" as 11111011000 instead of 11110100000, and decodes index 1952 as "urbain".
- "vill" is unique only within the English list: it also begins villa in the Spanish list and villano in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
