About "impulse" in BIP39
- "impulse" has 7 letters, but the first four, "impu", already identify it, because "imp" also begins impact, impose and improve.
- "impu" is unique only within the English list: it also begins imputer in the French list, impulso in the Spanish list and impune in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
