It doesnt have to have English pronunciation....the Ogham symbols would be pronounced as the Irish would say it....but when they were then copied/translated from Ogham to English symbols ( a, b, c, etc) why was the English symbols not used to give the same sound?

So..the Ogham symbol for the sound which gives Vee, would be translated to the English symbol which gives Vee, which is V.
What numpty..back in the day..in a place far far away....oops sorry, thats another story....translated the Ogham alphabet to the English alphabet and buggered it all up?
