#2: Initial revision
**It is normal to use a hyphen.** I see it all the time. - For puns/jokes. - For academic writing where the purpose is to emphasize etymology (when the crux of the argument requires redefining or reemphasizing certain words). - For political writing to focus on certain meanings. - And just plain old dialect to show how a character is pronouncing a word. 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."
