About "actor" in BIP39
- "actor" has 5 letters, but the first four, "acto", already identify it, because "act" also begins act, action, actress and actual.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, act. Write "actor" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "acto" is unique only within the English list: it also begins acto in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
