Could anyone of the sci.lang big "mentors" explain the relation

In addition, what the words neighbour, Ger. Bauer and Serb. seljak
(peasant) have in common?

You take no interest in the answer anyway. But let it be known that
the -o- in naseobina is related to l, so the stem word there is -sel-,
which occurs in Russian as -sel- and in Polish as -siedl-. So, the
stem is probably a very old borrowing from Germanic into Slavic, and
related to German siedeln. But of course you are not interested
anyway, so forget about it.
