As a crazy person that took 5 semesters of Latin, absolutely, but it’s a battle in which I’ve admitted defeat, much like “as per.”
If English made any sense, “matrices” would be the normal plural and pronounced with the italianized soft c. But then “indexes” is over there being irksome.
I think the correct plural here is simpler: a zero plural, i.e Kleenex. Probably because we just elide the entire word “tissues.”
