About "accident" in BIP39
- "accident" has 8 letters, but the first four, "acci", already identify it, because "acc" also begins access, account and accuse.
- "acci" is unique only within the English list: it also begins acción in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
