About "fortune" in BIP39
- "fortune" has 7 letters, but the first four, "fort", already identify it, because "for" also begins force, forest, forget, fork, forum and forward.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #855 (index 854), not #733. A wallet set to French reads "fortune" as 01101010110 instead of 01011011100, and decodes index 732 as "étaler".
- "fort" is unique only within the English list: it also begins fortuna in the Spanish list, fortezza in the Italian list and forte in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
