The F doesnt sound like a V in 'of' unless you cant speak properly.

Re: An easy 'brainteaser' type thingy
Apparently this stems from there being no separate letter V in old english, and in situations where a single f was surrounded by vowels it would make a V sound. Over was originally spelt 'ofer' but sounded the same.

Dwarfish as well.

Tolkein used Dwarvish but that isn't an english word Dwarfish is and is the same pronounciation as the bastardisation Dwarvish.
