About "march" in BIP39
- "march" has 5 letters, but the first four, "marc", already identify it, because "mar" also begins marble, margin, marine, market and marriage.
- "marc" is unique only within the English list: it also begins marchand in the French list, marco in the Spanish list, marcire in the Italian list and marcador in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
