The phrase should obviously have ended "friendship"... But note the english translation of the Klingon which says "group of friends", not "friendship". It seems to me that Okrand decided to give the ship a different name.
The English name is partially based on a pun: "friendship" is a type of relationship while the Friendship 7 was a type of spacecraft ("ship"). The pun obviously couldn't be carried into the Klingon. -- De'vID
