Example

a(1) = 2 [twO], where "two" is the smallest integer with 1 vowel.
a(2) = 0 [zErO], where "zero" is the smallest integer with 2 vowels.
a(3) = 11 [ElEvEn]
a(4) = 14 [fOUrtEEn]
a(5) = 102 [OnE hUndrEd twO]
a(6) = 101 [OnE hUndrEd OnE]
a(7) = 111 [OnE hUndrEd ElEvEn]
a(8) = 114 [OnE hUndrEd fOUrtEEn]
a(9) = 1014 [OnE thOUsAnd fOUrtEEn]
a(10) = 1102 [OnE thOUsAnd OnE hUndrEd twO]
a(11) = 1101 [OnE thOUsAnd OnE hUndrEd OnE]
a(12) = 1111 [OnE thOUsAnd OnE hUndrEd ElEvEn]
a(13) = 1014 [OnE thOUsAnd fOUrtEEn]
a(14) = 11114 [ElEvEn thOUsAnd OnE hUndrEd fOUrtEEn]
a(15) = 14114 [fOUrtEEn thOUsAnd OnE hUndrEd fOUrtEEn]
a(16) = 101111 [OnE hUndrEd OnE thOUsAnd OnE hUndrEd ElEvEn]
a(17) = 101114 [OnE hUndrEd OnE thOUsAnd OnE hUndrEd fOUrtEEn]
a(18) = 111114 [OnE hUndrEd ElEvEn thOUsAnd OnE hUndrEd fOUrtEEn]
a(19) = 114114 [OnE hUndrEd fOUrtEEn thOUsAnd OnE hUndrEd fOUrtEEn]
