Concerning Proverbs 1:19, )RX has as its root meaning the concept of travelling long distances from place to place. Path or way, at least in American English, has the concept of being only local. What word would you use to carry road and long distance travel?
HH: You disagree with the lexicons again. The verb )RX in BDB means to wander, journey, go. In DCH it is journey or go, with the participle meaning wanderer, traveller. Yet both lexicons state that the noun )RX means way or path. Perhaps they felt that the noun had a specific sense according to its contexts. BDB says that only in Judges 5:6 does the word have the sense of highways. So your limitation seems unnecessary. I am used to the word having the meaning path.
