Whoever thought I'd get a chuckle out of a dictionary!
Extrapolating the meanings gives an interesting twist to the movie title "Waking Ned Devine" wherein a man in an isolated Irish village wins the lottery and dies of shock so villagers decide to "wake" (bring to consciousness) Ned by having another assume his identity and claim the prize which will be divided equally among the villagers. Meanwhile they hold a "wake" (a pre-burial vigil) for dear old Ned who brought prosperity to the village.
