There are similarly few words ending in -v. Examples found in English dictionaries, including some words of foreign origin, are chav, leitmotiv, lev, shiv, Slav, Yugoslav, spiv and tav. Abbreviations and acronyms that have to a greater or lesser extent attained the status of words include derv (diesel fuel), guv (British informal term of respectful address, from governor), lav (lavatory), luv (love), perv (pervert), rev (as of an engine, from revolution), sov (British, old-fashioned, for sovereign, the coin). There are also numerous place-names and personal names, especially of Russian or Eastern European origin, such as Kiev, Chekhov, Molotov, Prokofiev.

Answer 3

i am disylica so lot s tho Words ending in 'v' are rare in English, since most words with a 'v' towards the end also have an 'e' (e.g. 'have', 'live', 'love', 'prove').
'guv', 'fliv', 'rev', 'lav','spiv.' In fact, the only non-slang word I can think of which qualifies is 'Slav' n 'spiv'. slang words chav,luv,brov,drev,prev,lav,REV,NEV, guv . but these are slang . v is rather like j try find words ending in j is far harder.lolhope this helps....
