Henrik,
Most L1 German speakers of English have [E] for /&/ and /E/, while /V/ is
indeed [a]. so <cant>, <Kent> and <cunt> would be: [kEnt], [kEnt] and [kant]
respectively.

E.g. Germans, most definitely yes. /V/ is a strange sound to us sounding
very much like our /a/ so many of us pronounce those two words identically.
