How the two words are related
Cognate
Same Semitic root, same meaning — you already know this word.
Arabic root
ن-ه-جHebrew root
נ-ה-גA near-perfect match in both root and word-pattern: Hebrew מִנְהָג (minhag, 'custom, tradition') and Arabic مِنْهَج (minhaj) are built the same way — a miCCaC place/manner noun (Arabic مِفْعَل) on root נ-ה-ג/ن-ه-ج, 'to conduct, lead, proceed'. Hebrew kept the everyday sense of a fixed way of doing things; Arabic narrowed it to the fixed way a course of study proceeds — the curriculum.
