Funny part is, the same shift happened in a lot of languages. I think some more obvious examples are modern German and Polish, where letter W corresponds to the V sound. Although I believe that the shift happened in German and then Polish borrowed the letter with the new pronunciation.

in swedish i think we’ve just gone from “fv” to “v”, somehow
very common example since it’s in old surnames: hufvud > huvud
