About "century" in BIP39
- "century" has 7 letters, but the first four, "cent", already identify it, because "cen" also begins census.
- "cent" is unique only within the English list: it also begins central in the French list, centro in the Spanish list, centesimo in the Italian list, centeio in the Portuguese list and centrum in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
