About "absent" in BIP39
- "absent" has 6 letters, but the first four, "abse", already identify it, because "abs" also begins absorb, abstract and absurd.
- "abse" is unique only within the English list: it also begins absence in the French list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
