About "actual" in BIP39
- "actual" has 6 letters, but the first four, "actu", already identify it, because "act" also begins act, action, actor and actress.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, act. Write "actual" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "actu" is unique only within the English list: it also begins actuel in the French list and actuar in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
