Sort of a funny question but why do we spell it B-O-K-E-H? Was it because when spelt correctly as "boke" us English speakers have a tendency to pronouce it similar to "poke"? Having learned a little Japanese it seems natural to pronouce is as "bo-ke" after realizing it is a Japanese word.

From Wikipedia... (external link)

Mike Johnston, former editor of Photo Techniques magazine, claims to have coined the bokeh spelling to suggest the correct pronunciation to English speakers,[2] (external link) replacing the previous spelling boke that derived directly from the Japanese word for "fuzzy" and had been in use at least since 1996. Pronounced (Boke-aay)[3] (external link)
The term bokeh has appeared in photography books at least since 2000 (external link).[4] (external link)

The latter is a shakespearian verb.

Example:
The photographer shall not boketh too much.
