Don't know for sure but perhaps Vertov took it from Kruchenyk's 1913
poem "Heights (a Universal Language)" - "Vysoty (Vselenskii yazyk)".
For your delectation I append a rough translation:
e u yu
i a o
o a
o a e e i a ya
o a
e u i e i
i e e
i i uy i e i i uy
I should point out that in the original there are only single letters.
In the same year Gnedov wrote "Poem of the End" ("Poema kontsa") -
truly in a universal language since it was a blank page.
