About "correct" in BIP39

"correct" has 7 letters, but the first four, "corr", already identify it, because "cor" also begins coral, core and corn.
The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #452 (index 451), not #389. A wallet set to French reads "correct" as 00111000011 instead of 00110000100, and decodes index 388 as "chose".
"corr" is unique only within the English list: it also begins correr in the Spanish list, corredo in the Italian list and correio in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
