About "police" in BIP39
- "police" has 6 letters, but the first four, "poli", already identify it, because "pol" also begins polar and pole.
- "poli" is unique only within the English list: it also begins policier in the French list, policía in the Spanish list, poligono in the Italian list, policiar in the Portuguese list and polibek in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
