Note
One spelling does two jobs. As the finite past it stands alone (she invoked a precedent); as the participle it follows have or be (the precedent has been invoked). Every sense of invoke takes an object, so the passive comes naturally: a god, a ship, a memory or a cited authority can all be invoked. The spelling is regular, since the final e of invoke simply takes -d.
