About "position" in BIP39
- "position" has 8 letters, but the first four, "posi", already identify it, because "pos" also begins possible and post.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1525 (index 1524), not #1348. A wallet set to French reads "position" as 10111110100 instead of 10101000011, and decodes index 1347 as "obéir".
- "posi" is unique only within the English list: it also begins posible in the Spanish list, positivo in the Italian list and posila in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
