I'm probably missing something here but...

1) The file you attached doesn't include the word "wolfing", nor "wolfin". I assume they need to be added into the f|i section? Wolfish *is* present so I'm not sure why it's being ignored unless there is an error being generated as a result of point (2) below, causing the whole file to be ignored.

2) Your suffixes list has comma separators - all the other word lists use whitespace as a separator.

3) Lastly, dumb question but... have you checked that you edited the right file? In my ConTeXt install there are two "lang-en.llg" files - one under <root>/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/patterns/lmtx and the other under .../patterns/mkxl
