English is not my native language, but I saw invokable in code, and looks like both invokable and invocable are OK?

I wish wikitionary had citations. Google always tries to correct invokable to invocable. There is no varcon entry for this. Oxford English Dictionary does not recognize invokable.

Some dictionaries, like Firefox and Libreoffice, don't recognize either word.

I think Google Ngram's is a good tool to judge whether something is a typo or just less common.

invocable,invokable: it appears to be less common but common enough to be a spelling variant.
