About "random" in BIP39
- "random" has 6 letters, but the first four, "rand", already identify it, because "ran" also begins ranch and range.
- "rand" is unique only within the English list: it also begins randagio in the Italian list and rande in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
