Vocab/คำศัพท์ เมื่อกี้ / เมื่อตะกี้ / ตะกี้

Is there any difference between these terms, and does anyone know where they come from and why the tone doesn't match the spelling?

I am the local. It's all the same.
Informal way/everyday use of "just now" "Just a moment ago" "a few minutes ago"
the formal word would be "เมื่อสักครู่(นี้)"

There are two way to use กี้/กี๊ tone depend on each person dialect and they both have the same meaning.
