It also participates in 6 confusable-pair relationships, "freundlicher", "freundliches", "freundlich", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is freundlichen, spelled F-R-E-U-N-D-L-I-C-H-E-N.
