About "desert" in BIP39
- "desert" has 6 letters, but the first four, "dese", already identify it, because "des" also begins describe, design, desk, despair and destroy.
- "dese" is unique only within the English list: it also begins deseo in the Spanish list, deserto in the Italian list and desenho in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
