Say goodbye to freen' and freend'.

Browse Source 
freen: imputed typo in original wordlist.  I can find no evidence for this
being an actual English word, not even in the OED.

freend: archaic spelling of `friend'.  In a modern document, it is far
more likely that this appears as a typo or a dialect word than it does
under the original meaning, so remove it as not to cause false negatives
for spelling checkers.
