I guess such toughts of a language having just a wovel belong to the
category called "intelectual masturbation".
If there has been a time when in the words has been just only one wovel,
then this should have happen as the human kind was not in kindergarten,
but crawled just in 4 legs. Even the mouses have more more as one vowel
in the noises they make. At least te /e/ and /i/ is clear to hear:-))
