About "insect" in BIP39
- "insect" has 6 letters, but the first four, "inse", already identify it, because "ins" also begins insane, inside, inspire and install.
- "inse" is unique only within the English list: it also begins insecte in the French list, insecto in the Spanish list, insetto in the Italian list and inseto in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
