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