Subject: [b-hebrew] Ecclesiastes 6:9 “better than going ??”

Dear All:
I question about one word here נפשׁ NP$, but it makes a big difference.
טוב מראה עינים מהלך־נפשׁ גם־זה הבל ורעות רוח׃
The LXX translates it as ψυχη but the context and form indicate that this should be a niphal verb. If so, what would be its meaning? Would it be related to פושׁ PW$ “to paw out” found in Jeremiah 50:11? Or a verb from the same root as פשׁ P$ “foolish arrogance” found in Job 35:15?
What do you all think?
