I've experienced that with a variety of words at different times, I've heard it called semantic satiation, but also that that actually doesn't mean this, but when no words make sense to you, not just a specific one.
In my handwriting, my “v”s and my “u”s look very similar. I’ve not found any pair of words other than “value” and “valve” in which the word could one or the other if the “v” or “u” were ambiguous.

I hate how english handles those suffixes (ly, ing, able) after a vowel; do you omit the vowel, do you just plug the suffix onto the word?
