About "salon" in BIP39
- "salon" has 5 letters, but the first four, "salo", already identify it, because "sal" also begins salad, salmon, salt and salute.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1708 (index 1707), not #1525. A wallet set to French reads "salon" as 11010101011 instead of 10111110100, and decodes index 1524 as "position".
- "salo" is unique only within the English list: it also begins salone in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
