CONSONANTS B >< V


Speakers of some languages do not distinguish between b and v but English does and the difference is relevant for meaning:

ban > < van        bat >< vat           bet >< vet           best >< vest
bile >< vile          bin >< vin            been >< vin        beam >< vim
 bip >< VIP        bow >< vow        by >< vie             bent >< vent
bale >< veil       bolt >< voltt       bowl >< vowel    boat >< vote
