“The Language Crystal,” by Lawrence William Lyons, perhaps?
A bit above my paygrade.
But found the book. Mystery of the Seven Vowels : In Theory and in Practice.
But; https://archive.org/details/TheLanguageCrystal
There’s another good one, “History in English Words” by Owen Barfield with an introduction by W.H. Auden
Originally published in 1926, but released by Fabre & Faber, London 1953
It records the discovery that the history of language contains a guide to the evolution of consciousness.
Barfield was an Inkling…beware.
