About "brass" in BIP39
- "brass" has 5 letters, but the first four, "bras", already identify it, because "bra" also begins bracket, brain, brand and brave.
- "bras" is unique only within the English list: it also begins brasier in the French list and brasa in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
