For the proper translation of "neighbour" from the original Hebrew,

ObPedant Why would I care about the proper translation of "neighbor"
when it does not appear in the text? Now, if you want to discuss the
proper translation of "rei'a", that's another matter.

through Aramaic, Koine Greek, and Latin, into English,

"Neighbor" already is English, and does mean "the guy who happens to
live next door". That is not, of course, what rei'a means.
