About "scheme" in BIP39

"scheme" has 6 letters, but the first four, "sche", already identify it, because "sch" also begins school.
"sche" is unique only within the English list: it also begins scheda in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
"scheme" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #16 (word 1 of 12). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words.
