You are trying to make a point out of a different simplified
ortography (which I have explained at
http://koti.welho.com/jschalin/transcription.htm).

For the purpose of Pre-Finnic substitutions the issue of
glottalisation or voicing is almost irrelevant as PF had only plain
stops.

'woman' is g´neh2 (as greek gune: and OInd gná:) and 'descendant' is
g'nh1-(i)e/o (as OInd já:) in conventional transcription.
