About "direct" in BIP39

"direct" has 6 letters, but the first four, "dire", already identify it, because "dir" also begins dirt.
"dire" is unique only within the English list: it also begins directif in the French list, directo in the Spanish list, dire in the Italian list and direto in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
