About "employ" in BIP39
- "employ" has 6 letters, but the first four, "empl", already identify it, because "emp" also begins empower and empty.
- "empl" is unique only within the English list: it also begins employer in the French list and empleo in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
