About "decide" in BIP39
- "decide" has 6 letters, but the first four, "deci", already identify it, because "dec" also begins decade, december, decline, decorate and decrease.
- "deci" is unique only within the English list: it also begins decir in the Spanish list, deciso in the Italian list, decimal in the Portuguese list and decibel in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
