About "legend" in BIP39
- "legend" has 6 letters, but the first four, "lege", already identify it, because "leg" also begins leg and legal.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, leg. Write "legend" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "lege" is unique only within the English list: it also begins legendar in the Portuguese list and legenda in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
