About "violin" in BIP39
- "violin" has 6 letters, but the first three, "vio", 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.
- "viol" is unique only within the English list: it also begins violon in the French list, violín in the Spanish list, viola in the Italian list and violeta in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
