   • As to the first question, "awaked" is archaic. I would not use it in conversation (or anywhere). The short story is that the strong verb was (usually) transitive awake, awoke, with awoken rarer; the weak verb was (originally) intransitive awaken, awakened. But all those have come to be confused.

   Is awaken a strong verb or a weak verb?

   • Both are formed from the original verb, wake. So people got to thinking that awaken went to awoken the way awake went to awoke, rather than having awaken stay weak and go awakened. They reanalysed awaken as a strong verb, the way awake had always been. Then they confused them all.
