Where did you find "Matok" as the Hebrew equivalent? If you can
direct us to the source, we can probably find if it's supposed to be
"mah-tahk", or "mah-toke", or "may-tock", or something else. {mataq}
is pronounced "mah-tahk", with both syllables having the "ah" sound.
If that's what you want, fine. If not, let us know what you *do*
intend for it to sound like, and we'll help you
