In this paper we describe algorithms for factoring words over sets of strings known as circ-UMFFs, generalizations of the well-known Lyndon words based on lexorder, whose properties were first studied in 1958 by Chen, Fox and Lyndon. In 1983 Duval designed an elegant linear-time sequential (RAM) Lyndon factorization algorithm; a corresponding parallel (PRAM) algorithm was described in 1994 by Daykin, Iliopoulos and Smyth. In 2003 Daykin and Daykin introduced various circ-UMFFs, including one based on
V
-words and
V
-ordering; in 2011 linear string comparison and sequential factorization algorithms based on
V
-order were given by Daykin, Daykin and Smyth. Here we first describe generic RAM and PRAM algorithms for factoring a word over any circ-UMFF; then we show how to customize these generic algorithms to yield optimal parallel Lyndon-like
V
-word factorization.
