About "allow" in BIP39
- "allow" has 5 letters, but the first four, "allo", already identify it, because "all" also begins all and alley.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, all. Write "allow" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "allo" is unique only within the English list: it also begins allouer in the French list and allodola in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
