(hu-man). There are additional Serbian words that entirely correspond
to the English noun 'human' (Lat. homo): one is 'kum' (god-father;
also known in Serbian as 'kuma¹in', 'kuman') and the other is
'kom¹ija' (neighbour).

koms^ija ios from turkish koms,u <kon*sh*I (11th cent.) from kon= "to
perch, to settle"

No, Turkish komşu is a loan-word from Serbo-Slavic

how ccan it be a loanword from serbian when it appears before turkish-
serbian contacts

In that case it might be a loan word from Persian hamsâye (neighbor).
One thing is certain: this word is not of Turkic origin!

komšija. This word is a clear-cut IE word: Latin
communis (common, public); commune is, as you
can see, related to home. Serbian domaćin (Lat.
dominus) is derived from the same Gon-Bel basis as
komšija, and these words are comparable to home
and human [dom (home) and domaćin (host), kum
(god-father), komšija (neighbor) i komšiluk
that's a derivative from kom$u with the turkish suffix -luk

The suffix -luk is a normal suffix in Serbian (lopov-luk theft, bez-
obraz-luk effrontery, kurvan-luk whoredom, fornication etc.)

Gosh, could you have stumbled upon a turkish suffix borrowed
(-luk) into Serbian? Dear, dear, how embarassing for you.
How do you explain that the suffix -luk doesn't exist in (all or most of)
the other Slavic languages?

We've already discussed this at length, if you remember.
