About "mercy" in BIP39
- "mercy" has 5 letters, but the first four, "merc", already identify it, because "mer" also begins merge, merit and merry.
- "merc" is unique only within the English list: it also begins mercredi in the French list, mercado in the Spanish list and mercurio in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
