False friend
Sounds like a Hebrew word but means something else — handle with care.
Arabic root
ر-ح-لRiḥla runs on root ر-ح-ل, to journey or pack up camp for travel — the same three consonants as Hebrew רָחֵל (Rachel, 'ewe'). A striking coincidence, but nothing ties hitting the road to a sheep; no shared root here.
