How are the words for the seed chosen?

For e.g.

togoles doesn't exist its togolês and even that its a very odd word

again oigale its oigalê and still nobody uses this

Probably its supposed to avoid easier bruteforcing of a seed?

I'm asking because Portuguese words for the seed are very unusual and some are even wrong...

I would be glad to contribute for a seed Portuguese dictionary if there's a way to do so.

Thanks !

You can see the list of Portugese words Monero uses here.

Only the first 4 letters of each word matters (for Portugese). For other languages, it may be 3 or 4. You can test this by restoring from your mnemonic seed, changing 'togoles' to 'togoabc'. It should still restore.

If there is a better word you feel should be used instead of togoles that begins with togo-, then feel free to suggest changes on the Monero Github.
