If I'm not mistaken, the IPA pronunciation would be ? [bo'?i.kwa]

Almost; Spanish, whenever possible, has open syllables and not closed ones, so it would be this: /bo'ɾi.kwa/, and /c/ makes this sound: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_palatal_plosive), so it needs to be a /k/. :-) - freeze10108, Dec 18, 2011
Thanks, Freeze. Edited according to your suggestions. - Izanoni1, Dec 18, 2011
