About "silent" in BIP39
- "silent" has 6 letters, but the first four, "sile", already identify it, because "sil" also begins silk, silly and silver.
- "sile" is unique only within the English list: it also begins silence in the French list, silencio in the Spanish list and silenzio in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
