That's the anglicised form that gets used in Southeast Alaska and in
the Interior (Carcross, Atlin, Teslin). The Tlingit word is "k'ínk'"
with ejective velar stops initially and finally, and with high tone on
the short high front vowel. The Tongass Tlingit dialect form would be
a plain vowel with no modifications (Tongass lacks tone, but has a
four way vowel modification system).

Cheers,
James
