About "orbit" in BIP39

"orbit" has 5 letters, but the first three, "orb", already identify it, because "or" also begins 8 other words, among them orange, orchard, order and ordinary. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
"orbi" is unique only within the English list: it also begins orbite in the French list, orbitar in the Portuguese list and orbital in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
