Hi, here are some closely related concepts that can be easily stated (without a need to add a new entry for). I suggest adding them in this entry:

prefix closed: a set is prefix closed if for every word in the set, any of its prefix is also in the set.

prefix closure: the prefix closure of a set S is the smallest prefix-closed set containing S, or, according to your definition, the union of the prefix sets of words in S.

proper prefix: a proper prefix of a word u is a prefix v of u not equal to u (sometimes v is required to be non-empty)

prefix free: a set S is prefix free if for any word in S, no proper prefixes of the word are in S

Thanks
