The V is a Germanic influence that came hundreds of years after the defeat of Israel in 135 AD. The nation of Israel was a mixture of different people.There never has been a proper “W” sound in Hebrew, as much as western and Christian linguists insist there was. Vav has always been pronounced “V,” “oo” or long “O.”

Waw/Vav (wāw "hook") is the sixth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician wāw , Aramaic waw , Hebrew vav ו, Syriac waw ܘ and Arabic wāw و (sixth in abjadi order; 27th in modern Arabic order).
It represents the consonant [w] (in original Hebrew ), (and [v] in modern Hebrew) if there is a dot in front of or above the vav, it represents the vowels [u] or [o].
It is the origin of Greek Ϝ (digamma) and Υ (upsilon), Latin F and V, and the derived "Latin"- or "Roman"- alphabet letters U, W, and Y.
