As I explained, that's because in German it's spelt with a G.  But since
Yiddish no longer slavishly follows German spelling, that should be
irrelevant.   And even when it was fashionable to pretend to be writing
German, halocho seems not to have taken any notice, and the first spelling
given in the Beis Shmuel is with a kuf.

But I haven't seen the Mahari Mintz's discussion of the subject, and
that's probably where you should look if you want a serious explanation.
