About "gentle" in BIP39
- "gentle" has 6 letters, but the first four, "gent", already identify it, because "gen" also begins general, genius, genre and genuine.
- "gent" is unique only within the English list: it also begins gentil in the French list and gente in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
