7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and V as the 4th letter

The fixed pattern is T _ _ V _ _ _, so the fourth letter sharply narrows the choices. Travels and trivial are among the more familiar matches; taivert and thivels are less likely to come to mind. Only two entries rank among common English words, and the dictionaries do not all accept the same set.
