Assuming you are talking about a noun that becomes a plural with the addition of 's'.

- any word with a doubled f at the end - puffs, snuffs, cuffs, toffs, cliffs, etc.

- some words can go either way: dwarfs or dwarves, for instance.

The spelling rule of changing a final "f" to "v" and adding "es" when making a noun plural helps ensure proper pronunciation. When you add an "s" to words that end in "f," often the pronunciation becomes awkward, so changing it to "v" helps maintain the sound of the word.

Why can't English words end with v?

English words typically don't end with the letter "v" due to the phonetic and historical development of the language. In Old and Middle English, the use of "v" at the end of words was uncommon, and it has largely remained that way. Instead, English often employs other letters, such as "f" or "ve," to convey similar sounds at the end of words. As a result, while there are exceptions in borrowed terms or proper nouns, standard English vocabulary avoids terminal "v."
