Having studied Latin for 9 years, and reading Classics at university at the moment i'm curious to find that people think the 'v' sound exists in latin.

It does not.

Well, at least not in Classical Latin (whence most of these quotes derive) and thus way-nee is indeed an accurate phonetic representation of veni; however, transmitting the ictus in text is almost impossible. I would do a little recording and submit it, but i drank far too much gin last night.
