About "palace" in BIP39
- "palace" has 6 letters, but the first four, "pala", already identify it, because "pal" also begins palm.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1412 (index 1411), not #1274. A wallet set to French reads "palace" as 10110000011 instead of 10011111001, and decodes index 1273 as "moteur".
- "pala" is unique only within the English list: it also begins palabra in the Spanish list, palazzina in the Italian list, palavra in the Portuguese list and palanda in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
