About "curve" in BIP39
- "curve" has 5 letters, but the first four, "curv", already identify it, because "cur" also begins curious, current and curtain.
- "curv" is unique only within the English list: it also begins curva in the Spanish list and curvo in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
