    • 1902, Hirano, Hidekichi, “第十二章  母 音 [Chapter 12: Vowels]”, in 國語聲音學 [The Phonetics of the National Language], 國光社, pages 53–54:
      母音吾國語音では唯一なる喉音である聲門規律ある顫動受けたる共鳴せられ吾人聞ゆるものを母音と云ふ。母音は、種々音色得るために口腔に共鳴されるが、決して或る局部に於て吾等聽き得られ、感じ得られる摩擦生ずる如きこと無い若し有つならばは母音では無く父音である。此の區別は、極めて重大おる要件である。ヤ行ワ行が、頗る母音に近い音であるけれども、父音たることを免れないのはである。

      Vowels are the only guttural sounds among the sounds of our language. What are known as vowels are sounds that undergo systematic vibrations at the vocal folds, resonate in the vocal tract, and wind up being heard by our ears. A vowel resonates in the oral cavity in order to achieve its diverse tonal quality, but there must be no such thing as friction that can be heard or felt by us at certain places of articulation. Otherwise, it will not be a vowel, but a consonant. This distinction is of utmost importance. Later when we discuss the ya-row and wa-row, which sound very similar to vowels, this point must be noticed in order to explain the fact that they still contain consonants.
