About "south" in BIP39
- "south" has 5 letters, but the first four, "sout", already identify it, because "sou" also begins soul, sound, soup and source.
- "sout" is unique only within the English list: it also begins soutirer in the French list and soutok in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
