About "check" in BIP39

"check" has 5 letters, but the first four, "chec", already identify it, because "che" also begins cheap, cheese, chef, cherry and chest.
"chec" is unique only within the English list: it also begins chechtat in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
