About "balance" in BIP39
- "balance" has 7 letters, but the first four, "bala", already identify it, because "bal" also begins balcony and ball.
- "bala" is unique only within the English list: it also begins balancer in the French list, balanza in the Spanish list and balada in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
