There is contradiction in "Pronunciation and writing" concerning V/W sounds, between description and example.--

Yes, this needs to be corrected. The descriptions list it as Ͷ representing /w/ and Ϝ representing /v/, however all the examples transliterate Ͷ as <v> and Ϝ as <w>. It seems like Ͷ should actually be /v/ and Ϝ should actually be /w/, because it also mentions that Ͷ sometimes stood in place of beta and we know beta later turns to /v/; also that Ϝ goes away instead of turning to /v/ in almost if not every other Greek dialect. If sourcing to support or refute this could be presented I would be very thankful.
