How Do You Spell HOKES UP?
Pronunciation: [hˈə͡ʊks ˈʌp] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "hokes up" is a bit tricky because it is a phrasal verb that consists of two words. The word "hokes" is pronounced /hoʊks/ with a long "o" sound and a hard "k" sound. It means to make something appear false or exaggerated. The word "up" is pronounced /ʌp/ with a short "u" sound and a soft "p" sound. It serves as an adverb, indicating that the action described by the verb is intensified or completed. Thus, "hokes up" means to exaggerate or make something seem false in a more intense or complete way.
