About "chimney" in BIP39
- "chimney" has 7 letters, but the first four, "chim", already identify it, because "chi" also begins chicken, chief and child.
- "chim" is unique only within the English list: it also begins chimère in the French list and chimera in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
