Second sense - I can't seem to find mention of this elsewhere, nor supporting evidence on books.g.c. --Connel MacKenzie 18:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- The second sense is not in the OED or the unabridged Random House Dictionary. Looks like thumbs down on both sides of the Pond to me. -- WikiPedant 18:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Christian Bök uses the word this way in his book _Eunoia_ (Coach House Books, 2001; p. 103): "_Eunoia_ is a univocal lipogram, in which each chapter restricts itself to the use of a single vowel."

Rfv-sense: "Containing only one vowel."
Also, does the example sentence make sense? Namely, 1) Is it, or can it be, about a vowel letter (as opposed to a vowel sound or phoneme)? and 2) Does it, or can it, mean containing only one kind of vowel, not "only one vowel" in quantity? Nardog (talk) 03:34, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- It means instances of one vowel, so e.g. as many As as you like, but no EIOU. Synonym: univocalic. I am adding cites now. Equinox ◑ 03:48, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
