"“He ran for help as soon as he saw what he'd done. No one thought there was intent about it. Hasn't made for friendlihood between the Ashewells and Medcotes, though.”"
"[...] 'and also that he will not hurt you in your bargain if you could be friendlily disposed toward him as you have been; for without a friendlihood of your part he seems he should not greatly help you in your bargain, so I feel him. He lives somewhat aloof, and not utterly malicious against you.'"

Alteration of earlier friendlihead, equivalent to friendly + -hood. Cognate with Dutch vriendlijkheid, Old Danish fryntlighet.
