Answer 2

In accordance with traditional Scrabble rules, we must omit proper nouns and abbreviations, since the number of those that end in "v" is potentially unlimited. However, that still leaves us with a pretty good selection. The following are culled from Merriam-Webster (www.m-w.com):

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
avalyn says Recent happenings in the UK have birthed the word chav, although it hasn't been put in a dictionary (yet).
