About "figure" in BIP39

"figure" has 6 letters, but the first three, "fig", already identify it, because "fi" also begins 19 other words, among them fiber, fiction, field and file. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #821 (index 820), not #689. A wallet set to French reads "figure" as 01100110100 instead of 01010110000, and decodes index 688 as "entourer".
"figu" is unique only within the English list: it also begins figura in the Spanish list, figurato in the Italian list, figurado in the Portuguese list and figurant in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
