Is it true there is a restriction on syntax such as

grep -v a -v e -v i -v o -u T1.txt

from my experimentation it seems as if I can only invoke one -v flag at
once, without ANY other patterns, that we do want to match. To get
functionality like this I'm having to use the pipe command |

-v is a boolean flag.  What you want is

grep -ve a -e e -e i -e o -e u T1.txt
