Languages do not matter, only words do, so let's collect all the
words consisting of vowels from all over the world.
I
её (herRU)
eau (waterFR)
U (youNL)
a
It is the order in which it came to me, and
it is funny, because it's ieowa (is we in the list? w is not
here)
you is also amongst these guys, the U, but then is y vowel? In
you itself it is not.
But then if we consider new and knew and view and stew, w is
semivowel too, and those those seven vowels in latin will be
aeiouwy (the y plays the same role as a in ieoua: raising the
tone to raise the mood, I suppose (and w next to y make the
claster of semivowels, or a claster of short vowels))
I and U are opposites in both phonetic and semantic aspects
is ей a short form of её? are short vowels short forms of
something else?
ея is an obsolete form of её
а (but, and)RU
a (to)FR
я (I)RU
и (and)RU
о (about)RU
ею (by her)RU
у (at)RU
ау
yea (unless y is a consonant)
I think I will have to rearrange this file into languages and
their alphabetic orders
междометия:
а (understanding)
e (satisfaction)
i (sheer surprise)
o (surprise)
u (dissatisfaction)
They can also change meaning depending on tone and other
characteristics, but e and u being semantically the opposite may
say that they are the most basic ones (e can be used for
misunderstanding (see russian э) and then it opposes a (which can
be screamed and then it is danger (also depending on intonation it
can be scream of danger to inform people around, or of mere fear;
or the indication of danger you represent to scare the foe away)
Народ группы банты в Китае называется яо.
Я играл с ним в интересную игру под названием Яуо.
Киргизская кибитка носит интересное название ои.
є (is)UA
ау[au] (what russians scream when they're lost in the woods, often
translated as hello, hey, ah, ay, etc)
owe (probably ought is owed)
awe (ахуй)
Iowa tells quite a story, it is as if the masons who established
the USA knew something: the story is of descending set of iou with
lateron added a, and i brings that a at the beginning. Very
interesting name of the state aioua
Iowa derives its name from the Ioway people, a
Chiwere-speaking Siouan Nation who were once part of the
Ho-Chunk Confederation that inhabited the area now corresponding
to several Midwest states.
The Ioway tribe is also known as the
Báxoje tribe.[3] Their name has been said to come from the
Sioux ayuhwa ("sleepy ones."). Early European explorers often
adopted the names of tribes from the ethnonyms which other
tribes gave them, not understanding that these differed from
what the peoples called themselves. Thus, ayuhwa is not an
Ioway word. The word Ioway comes from Dakotan ayuxbe via
French aiouez.[5] Their autonym (their name for themselves) is
Bah-Kho-Je, pronounced [b̥aꜜxodʒɛ] (alternate spellings:
pahotcha, pahucha, báxoje,[6]), which translates to "grey
snow".[3] Báxoje has been incorrectly translated as "dusted
faces" or "dusty nose".[6]
Ouija [wídʒi, The popular
belief that the word Ouija comes from the French and German
words for yes is a misconception.Misconception or not,
such etymology make it sound as wija ўия (then we~ya and
вы~я and we ~ я are readings of the board, and in finnish it is
ouja(о́уя))]
a
----
here I will collect words with interesting vowel sequences
литератору (genetivus of литераторъ holding the five vowels in
that particular order)
oiseaux (bird in french, holds the five vowels, but the order is a
mess (unless it is ascending-descending scale of oieau, and surprisingly it is
read with ascending-descending order too, uao
this time, and interestingly this is how birds actually fly: first
they ascend, then they descend)
EUNOIA
is the shortest word in English which has all five vowels.
In rhetoric, eunoia (Ancient Greek: εὔνοιᾰ,
romanized: eúnoia, lit. 'well mind; beautiful thinking')[1]
is the good will speakers cultivate between themselves and their
audiences, a condition of receptivity.[2] In Book VIII of the
Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle uses the term to refer to the kind
and benevolent feelings of good will a spouse has which form the
basis for the ethical foundation of human life.[3] Cicero
translates εὔνοιᾰ with the Latin word benevolentia.[4]
It is also a rarely used medical term referring to a state of
normal mental health.[5] Eunoia is the shortest English word
containing all five main vowel graphemes.[1]
The list is obviously not complete, because it doesn't contain
eunoia (but then maybe they don't recognize this word as english,
but then the first part of this sentence still stands. Anyway,
for whatever reason, I couldn't find such list for german, but in
dutch they even have the term for it: Klinkerstapeling:
and I kept on looking, and here's something else I want to collect
in here:
greek ἀεὶ = присно = вечно (устаревшее)
найдено в
Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ
Πνεύματι,
καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν
αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
на которую вывела другое слово идеально подходящее к этому
собранию: euouae:
Euouae (/juːˈuːiː/; sometimes spelled Evovae)[1]
is an abbreviation used as a musical mnemonic in Latin psalters
and other liturgical books of the Roman Rite. It stands for the
syllables of the Latin words saeculorum Amen, taken from the
Gloria Patri, a Christian doxology that concludes with the
phrase in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
and it is some tradition, relating to my idea of vowel speech
being divine (I don't remember where I found this idea, but now
this)
A similar abbreviation, Aevia (or Aeuia), was used
to abbreviate the word Alleluia in medieval Office books. In
Venetian and other Italian Office books of the 16th century, an
equivalent abbreviation, Hal'a, or Hal'ah, can be substituted
for Aevia.
*a*e*i*o*u*
acheirous
arterious
arsenious
affectious
abstemious
abstentious
annelidous
caesious
facetious
bacterious
majestious
(and no *а*е*и*о*у* words without other
vowels, only something like артериопункция and even more
complicated words) https://sanstv.ru/words#template=*%D0%B0*%D0%B5*%D0%B8*%D0%BE*%D1%83*&dict=ru_nouns&sort=desc
My bold guess is in this file a play consisting only of vowels
will be born.
and it was born immediately:
СЦЕНА 1
клиент 1
Её! и её!
клиент 2 (друг первого)
Её - я! (показывая на одну из выбранных его другом)
клиент 1
А я?
клиент 2
Её? (предлагая другую)
И? (обращаясь к другой, жестом показывая, чтоб подошла к клиенту
1)
СЦЕНА 2 (идут по корридору в свой номер, их видно со спин, голоса
сменяются по мере того как они проходят мимо разных комнат)
- A!
- Yeah!
- ja-ja can be heard from other numbers
- yee-huh from some american, as they pass the corridor to their
room
- yo (и наши герои смеются гласно слыша это всё)
СЦЕНА 3 (из-за закрытых дверей, где скрылись наши герои (я зарёкся
заниматься порнографией (но не порнография ли это? буквально
изображение разврата!!! этически неприемлемая пьеса)))
[some vowel glossolallia impossible to be accuradely put
down]
(мле makes i↑ mellower)
o!
у!
а-а-а and so on
(and maybe some vocalises on the soundtrack)
are you: A I U (as in the alphabet today)
you are: I U A (as maybe was in the alphabet in the past, when B
was the first letter and A was the last)
あう is in dictionaries only as "meet", but was translated as yes in
the anime, though "встретимся" would make sense as well, and not
knowing japanese well, I can only guess, I guess there are many
vowel words in that language. Did I mention aoi for green-blue
colour? I think there are many more
ewe[ю](sheep, and probably the root of russian word
овца[ovtsa](sheep) and it is literally
cognate an homonym of you (where I took it (history of
the world part 2(ep.1)) the ewe screamed something similar to ю))
ear[и́а (so I thought, and so they teach, but g.t. tells it's
éé)]
eye[а́áй]
いい[ии] good, and here's the instruction to use this word:
air [эя]
some contribution from pi.ai:
air, ere, ore, are, aura,
ire, era, oar,
aer, eer, oer, era, aria, ere, earl, our,
aurochs, aura, rhea, ere,
e'er, yea, ur, oer, aurochs, aer, eerie, e'en,
leer, eerie, aeon, era, eon, ere, arum, eau,
eau, eau, eau, eau, eau.
as usual in the early 2024, it gives good variants with
halluciantions, so even if I take that it sees l and r as vowels
in the way sanskrit considers them vowel (or, after all, I fed
it air as an example of word with consonant letters but without
consonant sounds) it still doesn't explain n of e'en and chs of
aurochs which it used twice (and it repeats itself like mad,
especially that eau, which is actually french, we discussed it
before or after that, she though it has w sound at the end, it
definitely read it in english manner, the technology is still
rather raw, but already pretty impressive)
It made me thing of "or" and french "et"
I think I should place all examples into
quotation marks to look them up if I already have them in the
collection.
A contribution from Joannes Richter:
Most modern variants of Danish language
distinguish 12 long vowels, 13 short vowels, and two central
vowels, /ə/ and /ɐ/, which only occur in unstressed syllables.
This gives a total of 27 different vowel phonemes85. The sound
system of Danish is unusual, particularly in its large vowel
inventory. The full vowel list is a, e, i, o, u, y, æ, ø, å
In the Western Danish dialect Jutlandish, it is possible to
construct a complete sentence using only all-vowel single-letter
words:
a e u o æ ø i æ å, e a! (depending on subdialect): Word-for-word
meaning: I am out on the island in the river, am I!
Real Jutlandish is unintelligible for most people from the rest
of Denmark, and therefore some linguists see Jutlandish as a
separate language. Unfortunately, Jutlandish is disappearing in
many parts, being replaced by standard Danish.
A Swedish example in a dialect called "Värmländska" by Swedish
poet Gustaf Fröding is the sentence:
"Å i åa ä e ö" which means "And in the creek there is an island"86.
Greek word for Eve is Εὕα
Irish: aoi m (genitive singular aoi, nominative plural aíonna)
guest, lodger, knowledgeable person (and a
couple of completely different meanings)
There are so many vowel words across languages, that I'm confused
if I should do it by hand or if I should use some good program to
sort them all out for me. I wish I could, until I do we have to do
it by hand, duh.
