许多日本历史语言学家重建了一个没有 *e和 *o的四元音系统，用于日本语和琉球语的祖先原始日语（PJ）。然而，少数人（Unger 1993 [1977]，Hattori 1978-79，Thorpe 1983，Serafim 1999 a，1999 b）已经重建了PJ *e和 *o。到目前为止，对PJ *e和 *o的争论一直基于（a）日本内部和比较重建和（B）从8世纪开始证明的日本语言。在本文中，我使用另外两种类型的证据来检验PJ *e和 *o假说：世纪以前的抄本和世纪以前借用的中日读物。
Many Japanese historical linguists reconstruct a four-vowel system without *e and *o for Proto-Japonic (PJ), the ancestor of the Japanese and Ryukyuan languages. However, a few (Unger 1993 [1977], Hattori 1978–79, Thorpe 1983, Serafim 1999a, 1999b) have reconstructed PJ *e and *o. Until now, arguments for PJ *e and *o have been based on (a) Japonic internal and comparative reconstructions and (b) Japonic languages attested from the eighth century onward. In this paper I test the PJ *e and *o hypothesis using two other types of evidence: pre-eighth century transcriptions and Sino-Japanese readings borrowed prior to the eighth century.
