Let $(L,w)/(K,v)$ be a finite extension of valuation fields, and let $L_w$, $K_v$ be the respective completioncompletions of $(L,w)$, $(K.v)$$(K,v)$. Is the field extension $L_w/K_v$ finite?

For nonarchemideannonarchimedean valuations on number fields it is trivial, as everything is explicit in terms of prime ideals. For archemideanarchimedean valuations this is also trivial if we know what they are, but I'm thinking about turning this around and deriving the archemideanarchimedean valuations on number fields from this (seemingly easy) lemma.

Also, I'm wondering how far can we push it towards nondiscrete, non-Noetherian domains (pun?).

Completion of a finite field extension is also finite?
