As a name a problem is having oN -me' embedded in it.

I suppose koN on tha i ha might possibly be 'He is a Kaw', though
LaFlesche doesn't usually write th for s.  He does write c-cedilla
"pronounced like th in [thin?]" or something like that.  i don't recall
his actual example.  Here it would be voiced.  OP would have kkaNze, or in
the third person kkaNza=i.

The author does contrast k (=kk in 'friend') and g.  He isn't writing k
for the simple stop.
