baroque and broke wordplay here: not sure how to write out bahroke meaning broke
It is normal to use a hyphen.
I see it all the time.
Changing the spelling of a word to render the phonetics as needed is also acceptable in certain contexts. Though in this specific example, I'd prefer "bah-roke" to "bahroke."
