The word "brookens" may seem strange to many, but it is an actual word. It is the past participle of the verb "break," meaning to have been broken. The spelling of this word is influenced by its pronunciation, which is /brʊkənz/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The "oo" sound represents the "u" sound in "book" and the "en" ending is pronounced as /ənz/. While it may not be a commonly used word, it is important to understand its correct spelling and pronunciation.
