About "simple" in BIP39
- "simple" has 6 letters, but the first four, "simp", already identify it, because "sim" also begins similar.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1770 (index 1769), not #1609. A wallet set to French reads "simple" as 11011101001 instead of 11001001000, and decodes index 1608 as "reculer".
- "simp" is unique only within the English list: it also begins simpatico in the Italian list and simpatia in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
