About "vote" in BIP39
- "vote" has 4 letters, but the first three, "vot", already identify it, because "vo" also begins vocal, voice, void, volcano, volume and voyage. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "vote" is unique only within the English list: it also begins voter in the French list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "vote" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #12 (word 24 of 24). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words. As the last word of vector #12, its final 8 bits, 10101111, are the checksum of the 24-word phrase.
