About "despair" in BIP39

"despair" has 7 letters, but the first four, "desp", already identify it, because "des" also begins describe, desert, design, desk and destroy.
"desp" is unique only within the English list: it also begins despesa in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
