About "salmon" in BIP39
- "salmon" has 6 letters, but the first four, "salm", already identify it, because "sal" also begins salad, salon, salt and salute.
- "salm" is unique only within the English list: it also begins salmón in the Spanish list and salmone in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
