About "exile" in BIP39
- "exile" has 5 letters, but the first four, "exil", already identify it, because "exi" also begins exist and exit.
- "exil" is unique only within the English list: it also begins exiler in the French list and exilio in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
