The spelling of the word "skokov" can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The first two letters "sk" are pronounced as /sk/. The "o" in "skokov" is pronounced as /ɒ/, which is a low-back rounded vowel sound. The following "k" is pronounced as /k/, and "ov" is pronounced as /ɒv/. Therefore, the correct spelling of "skokov" represents a combination of two consonant sounds and two vowel sounds. This unique spelling helps to distinguish it from other words in the English language.
