Subject: RE: What's a Dow?
I happened upon this deathless fragment in a current Mudcat thread. It demonstrates how v and w are apt to change places in Germanic tongues.

In the vintertime, in the valley green,
When the wind blows on the window pane
And the women working in vaudeville
Ride velocipides in the vestibule....
