About "panic" in BIP39
- "panic" has 5 letters, but the first four, "pani", already identify it, because "pan" also begins panda, panel and panther.
- "pani" is unique only within the English list: it also begins paniquer in the French list and panika in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
