About "prefer" in BIP39
- "prefer" has 6 letters, but the first four, "pref", already identify it, because "pre" also begins predict, prepare, present, pretty and prevent.
- "pref" is unique only within the English list: it also begins prefisso in the Italian list and prefeito in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
