About "bless" in BIP39

"bless" has 5 letters, but the first four, "bles", already identify it, because "ble" also begins bleak.
"bles" is unique only within the English list: it also begins blessant in the French list and blesk in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
"bless" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #11 (word 24 of 24). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words. As the last word of vector #11, its final 8 bits, 10111101, are the checksum of the 24-word phrase.
