About "defense" in BIP39
- "defense" has 7 letters, but the first four, "defe", already identify it, because "def" also begins define and defy.
- "defe" is unique only within the English list: it also begins defensa in the Spanish list and defesa in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
