About "ancient" in BIP39
- "ancient" has 7 letters, but the first four, "anci", already identify it, because "anc" also begins anchor.
- "anci" is unique only within the English list: it also begins ancien in the French list and anciano in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
