About "carbon" in BIP39
- "carbon" has 6 letters, but the first four, "carb", already identify it, because "car" also begins car, card, cargo, carpet, carry and cart.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, car. Write "carbon" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "carb" is unique only within the English list: it also begins carbone in the French list, carbón in the Spanish list and carbono in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
