Spotted in c1966: "shall waken". We can suppose this in variation with "awaken" and take into account to an extent if we compare only when preceded by "shall". Unsurprisingly, "awaken" has always been more common in American when (books.google.com/ngrams/graph?), although these sort of pairs where the standard version is used intransitively could be interesting to look at further
