According to the Comparative Tables, the voiced labial spirant [v] developed medially both from primitive [b] and from voiceless [f] (PE19/23), which itself developed from the aspirate [pʰ]. Also according the tables, medial [v] was spelled “f”. Finally, non-initial [w] became [v] in East Danian, even in cases where it was the second part of a cluster of consonants, such as [kv] < [kw]. A [v] of this origin was spelled “v” in East Danian, and may have had a different pronunciation.
