About "chicken" in BIP39
- "chicken" has 7 letters, but the first four, "chic", already identify it, because "chi" also begins chief, child and chimney.
- "chic" is unique only within the English list: it also begins chico in the Spanish list, chicca in the Italian list, chicote in the Portuguese list and chichot in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
