Only 7 verbs belong to the "sz/v-alternating" type: eszik, hisz,
iszik, lesz, tesz, vesz, visz. These have four roots: 1. tesz-, 2.
tev-, 3. te-, 4. te'-. As it comes from your above example "te've",
originally the suffix of the adverbial participle ("-va/ve") was
attached to the root #4. Therefore the etymologically correct form
would be: e've. But this is a very rarely used form of an irregular-
like verb, therefore it isn't part of the linguistic sense of an
average speaker. Literary language still uses _e've_, while the
colloquial language uses a number of (ad hoc) inetymological forms:
evve, edve, eszve.
