going, journey, carry out, conduct, act, line, row, bank
行 centers on movement along a path: going, journeying, or carrying out an action. The line/row/bank senses extend this idea to things arranged along a course.
行 is a pictograph of a crossroads or intersection, representing movement and paths. The modern form preserves the left and right halves as 彳 and 亍, which together suggest stepping or going.
The left side 彳 looks like a step, and the right side 亍 looks like another step. Together they form a path: going, journeying, or carrying out an action along a line.
For コウ, imagine a long line of people going on a journey, all carrying a single コウ (こう, incense stick) to mark the path: こう -> コウ.
