About "source" in BIP39
- "source" has 6 letters, but the first four, "sour", already identify it, because "sou" also begins soul, sound, soup and south.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1802 (index 1801), not #1665. A wallet set to French reads "source" as 11100001001 instead of 11010000000, and decodes index 1664 as "rigide".
