About "sorry" in BIP39

  • "sorry" has 5 letters, but the first four, "sorr", already identify it, because "sor" also begins sort.
  • "sorr" is unique only within the English list: it also begins sorriso in the Italian list and sorrir in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
