How was F pronounced in Old English?
F is pronounced the same as the modern English [f] when at the start or end of a word, or when it is beside an unvoiced consonant. However, it is pronounced like [v] if it comes between two vowels (heofan, seofan, yfel), or between a vowel and a voiced consonant within a word (wulfas).
