About "captain" in BIP39
- "captain" has 7 letters, but the first four, "capt", already identify it, because "cap" also begins capable and capital.
- "capt" is unique only within the English list: it also begins capter in the French list, captar in the Spanish list and captador in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
