It would be useful if you could give the source of your contentions. There is no such word as "arens" in French (Harrap New Shorter French dictionary). "Arena " with a grave accent on the "e" is an arena or skating rink. "Arene" (again a grave on the "e") is "sand" in the literary sense, an arena, bull-ring or amphitheatre , "Les arenes d'Arles" = the arena of Arles. Spries simply does not exist in French - "before" is avant or devant. "Avant" is more for time "Venez avant midi" = come before noon. It is also the bow of a ship. Devant is more for physical placing "devant la maison" = in front of the house. or "aller devant" go in front, take the lead.
