I'm with Trantor on that.

Anyway, I say Neh-ta, which is close enough to Net-a, I guess.

The other way doesn't make any sense, at least if you assume that the vowels in whatever language are more logical than in English. (Which is a big assumption)

Nêta, with a "ê". There's no other possible way.
