      I’ven’t is a double contraction of “I have not”. I have no idea off hand if that’s grammatically correct. Seems weird but who knows? Well. A grammar expert probably would. Bottom line is I don’t though.

      I had to check a dictionary, if I’m not missing some meaning of “contraction” and yep, sure did.

      Spoiler

      A word with omitted letters replaced by an apostrophe, usually resulting from the above process.
      “Don’t” is a contraction of “do not.”
