I would pronounce the 'v' in Wolvic like in "vision" and the in your words 'f' like in "elfic". Which would make it clear Wolvic is written with a v. Would I be wrong?

(we have a town called Volvic here, known for its water. Pronounced like in "vision". I would pronounce Wolvic the same way, except the first letter would be pronounced like in "well")
(the English pronunciation is not a gift)
- TingPing 5y agoIt is clear to me as a native English speaker. We do have "wolves" already.
- bialpio 5y agoAlso not a native speaker, I'd use the same pronunciation as you ("v" in "wolvic" is the same as in "elven", "f" in "wolfic"/"wolfish" is the same as in "elfic"/"elfish"). But the difference is quite subtle, I see it can be hard to tell apart in casual conversation when people pay less attention to enunciation.
