Thanks! I expect this is it. One Chinese consonant is variously 
transcribed from the several Chinese languages as k and j (eg., 
Peking/Beijing), and I suppose the following "i" would affect what 
happens to it also. Curious that the placename shows up as Li Kiang; 
perhaps regional. Google needs to brush up on its Chinese phonology.
