No it is the vav or V sound, nothing close to a W in hebrew, like no G sound. But they got other sounds we don’t have to make up for it.

But no W, that 666 thing just does not work in hebrew.

i have seen things similar to this and that is why i thought it was so...

The Waw has a "w" sound (called the vav in modern Hebrew with a "v" sound) and is a picture of a peg or nail which is used to secure or add things together. This letter is used to mean "and" in the sense of adding. When this letter is prefixed to the word erets the word we'erets is formed meaning "and a land."
