About "arrow" in BIP39
- "arrow" has 5 letters, but the first four, "arro", already identify it, because "arr" also begins arrange, arrest and arrive.
- "arro" is unique only within the English list: it also begins arroser in the French list, arroz in the Spanish list, arrosto in the Italian list and arroba in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
