About "retreat" in BIP39
- "retreat" has 7 letters, but the first four, "retr", already identify it, because "ret" also begins retire and return.
- "retr" is unique only within the English list: it also begins retracer in the French list, retrato in the Spanish list and retratar in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
