About "essence" in BIP39

"essence" has 7 letters, but the first four, "esse", already identify it, because "ess" also begins essay.
The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #726 (index 725), not #619. A wallet set to French reads "essence" as 01011010101 instead of 01001101010, and decodes index 618 as "écorce".
"esse" is unique only within the English list: it also begins essenza in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
