It's illustrative to consider the word 'quark', as popularized by Finnegans Wake and subatomic physics. Joyce would have us see it rhyme with, say, 'dark' (seeing as how he uses internal rhyming in his line 'three quarks for Muster Mark'). Popular usage, though, gravitates toward rhyming with 'cork' (note for example the Star Trek: DS9 character by that name). What's illustrative is that neither of these rhyming schemes are to be employed for the OP word, but for the consonant sounds this is a good guide.
