It is a common word in Piute and some other Native American languages of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona and New Mexico.  Watch some old U.S. Westerns and get a handle on the native accents.  Remember to soften the consonants.  American tongues are WAY to harsh and explosive.

Go for a harder "g", but not nearly as hard as an American "gag".
