About "cargo" in BIP39
- "cargo" has 5 letters, but the first four, "carg", already identify it, because "car" also begins car, carbon, card, carpet, carry and cart.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, car. Write "cargo" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "carg" is unique only within the English list: it also begins carga in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
