About "nature" in BIP39

"nature" has 6 letters, but the first four, "natu", already identify it, because "nat" also begins nation.
The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1303 (index 1302), not #1180. A wallet set to French reads "nature" as 10100010110 instead of 10010011011, and decodes index 1179 as "magasin".
"natu" is unique only within the English list: it also begins natural in the Spanish list, naturale in the Italian list and natureza in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
