but there is Serbian "liudi" too which means "people", doesn't it?
the Rom. "lume" means "people" but "world" too and if there is a
suffixed form with "-me" of leud(me) that won't be too far.

Mmm.. I should like to hear more about Slavic "narod" here if this
related to Latin nascor and Rom. "nãscoci". I wonder that happened with
this "sc" in slavic if something as *nasko > Slv. narod
