She had waken/woken him up at the crack of dawn.

Hello. My Microsoft underlines 'waken' in blue and seems to only accept the above phrase if I put 'woken' instead, but I am still a bit unsure because 'woken him up' seems so awkward to me. Which form would you use?

Thank you for your help.

That is American English. It is what I always use.

It's a second choice.
