I would expect the cognate of “nigh” to be “nach”. A quick check of Wiktionary reveals that “nah” is indeed cognate with “nach”, which does have the expected final consonant.

I tend to pronounce the final G of Genug as "GenuCH", to show its relationship to English. Is it supposed to just be "Genuk" like you said, or it that just a regional pronunciation difference?

English used to pronounce the gh as /x/ back in the Middle English period.
