wakes
Stirs from slumber
Wakes serves multiple words.
Most commonly it's the verb for emerging from sleep or causing someone to emerge: She wakes at dawn, The noise wakes the baby.
To wake to something is to become aware of it.
A wake is also the trail of disturbed water behind a moving boat, extended to any aftermath: in the wake of the scandal.
Separately, a wake is a vigil held beside a body before burial, often with food and drink—an Irish wake being the cultural touchstone.
