The selection of 5-bit sizes for index/threshold values and 10-bit for wordlist index has a nice property that the first word of the mnemonic encodes exactly these two values. And, vice versa, only these two values determine the first word.
## Checksum
For the checksums we use the leftmost 16 bits of a SHA-256 hash digest of the relevant payload.
