Certainly there's such a thing. As for how it'd be pronounced, it'd
simply be /f/ or /v/ as a stop (or to put it another way, the labiodental
stop is to /f/ as /k/ is to /x/).
I wouldn't expect any languages use it (though I could be wrong) as there
isn't any sign for it in the IPA chart, though I have seen it symbolized
in a textbook with the Greek letter pi.
