About "embark" in BIP39
- "embark" has 6 letters, but the first four, "emba", already identify it, because "emb" also begins embody and embrace.
- "emba" is unique only within the English list: it also begins emballer in the French list and embargo in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
