Likely Cave still, or maybe Chave. English likes to drop unburdened wordbits (syllables) and is fairly keeping (conservative) on "v", "c", and long "a" (if that a was short then likely still cave but spoken with an æ, or it could be lengthened to long a in Middle English, which happened often but I don't know in which befalls).
