About "nerve" in BIP39

"nerve" has 5 letters, but the first three, "ner", already identify it, because "ne" also begins 14 other words, among them near, neck, need and negative. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
"nerv" is unique only within the English list: it also begins nerveux in the French list, nervio in the Spanish list, nervo in the Italian list, nervoso in the Portuguese list and nerv in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
