About "prison" in BIP39
- "prison" has 6 letters, but the first four, "pris", already identify it, because "pri" also begins 7 other words, among them price, pride, primary and print.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1549 (index 1548), not #1369. A wallet set to French reads "prison" as 11000001100 instead of 10101011000, and decodes index 1368 as "oiseau".
- "pris" is unique only within the English list: it also begins prisión in the Spanish list and prisma in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
