My old neighbor

qan/Qup = age
ngo'/chu' = other stuff
Let's say I wish to refer to someone as my old neighbor, referring to
the fact that he's been my neighbor for a long time. Could I refer to
him as a jIl ngo'?
I think yes, (but I could be wrong) because qan (old, as in not young),
refers to age, but the "old" in "old neighbor" doesn't refer to his age,
so I'd use ngo'.
