Lak.   kagha    would = Omaha gaghe
Assin. gijagha  would = Omaha gigaghe assuming it exists.
Lak.   kichagha would = Omaha giaghe

Lak.  kichagha < *ki-r-agha where prefixal [ir] > [ich] in numerous forms as
mentioned yesterday.

Dakotan kicagha or AS gijagha would have to be from earlier *kikagha. So
David was exactly right about the source of aspirated [ch] in the one form,
except that the *iy that gives his ich is from the sequence *ir
preaccentually and is a normal reflex of such a sequence.

Right?
