About "barely" in BIP39
- "barely" has 6 letters, but the first four, "bare", already identify it, because "bar" also begins bar, bargain and barrel.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, bar. Write "barely" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "bare" is unique only within the English list: it also begins baret in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
