I am +1 on the unique identification using the first 4 letters, makes it 
easy for restoring from seed on mobile wallets. Don't know if this is 
really a blocker but since RO is a rich enough language in terms of 
words, this shouldn't be too hard.

Also, world list is not acceptable in this form. it should be revised by 
someone with knowledge in Romanian lexical area, I just briefly reviewed 
and:

- _adesiv_ shouldn't be *adeziv* ?

- _walkman_ - this is not a Romanian word, while it is of course 
sometimes used in Romania.

- _web_ - this is not a Romanian word, while it is of course sometimes 
used in Romania.

- _yachting_ - this is not a Romanian word and it most certainly not 
used in Romania :)) Why not use *navigatie* or something?

- _topmodel_ - it's two words merged in one

- _acvatic_ and _acvaplanare_ - they are both independent words but very 
close to each other while one is an adjective and one substantive. These 
two for example break the "no confusing words" spec.

I didn't review the entire word list and no sense to make this message 
too long, but I'm sure you see the point. Word list needs changes, 
please correct.
