About "dragon" in BIP39
- "dragon" has 6 letters, but the first four, "drag", already identify it, because "dra" also begins draft, drama, drastic and draw.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #599 (index 598), not #529. A wallet set to French reads "dragon" as 01001010110 instead of 01000010000, and decodes index 528 as "demeurer".
- "drag" is unique only within the English list: it also begins dragón in the Spanish list and drago in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
