No English words end in the letter "v" that I am aware of.

leitmotiv, a variant of leitmotif (you'll almost always see it spelled with an "f", however)
lev, a monetary unit used in Bulgaria
maglev, a recent but legitimate word for a train which moves using magnetic levitation
moshav, imported from Hebrew and roughly synonymous to kibbutz
shiv, slang for a knife used as a weapon; rarely spelled "chiv"
spiv, British slang for a flashy dresser "who lives by his wits without regular employment"; evolved from "spiff"
vav (waw) and tav (taf), the sixth and twenty-second letters of the Hebrew alphabet
