Words with just one vowel make an interesting set. Remember, in Spanish one vowel means one vowel sound and also one vowel symbol (a, e, i, o, u).
If you take into account that every Spanish syllable needs at least one vowel sound, and that every word has at least one syllable (obviously), this makes the one-vowel words the simplest words; and, many are very common. Does that mean “important”? You decide that.
