hi Andy

the word 'hiri' is 'conscience' (Thanissaro) or 'sense of shame' (Ireland)

i am a fan of John Ireland's translations

by using the word 'friendship', Ireland has not translated the name of the sutta directly, but, instead, just titled it according it its main subject matter

Hiri Sutta is Conscience Sutta or Sense of Shame Sutta

Kind regards
