Yes, I meant 'v' pronounced as 'w' - I have really heard it somewhere. If the 'where' pops up in my head I'll let you know.
And back to your 'w' - we have a letter representing something very similar. It is the letter begining my first name which is really a 'crossed L'. Imagine an L followed by slash (L/) and then move the slash backwards, to meet the bend point in L - you got it! We pronounce L as L, so it really makes a difference. Thus, my name is 'Woo-kush' rather (stress on the first syllable) than 'Loo-'.
Wookush
