About "galaxy" in BIP39

"galaxy" has 6 letters, but the first four, "gala", already identify it, because "gal" also begins gallery.
"gala" is unique only within the English list: it also begins galaxie in the French list, gala in the Spanish list and galateo in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
