with a cluster. However, Lardil has several clusters in the middle of words, and many of these are not found in Damin words, as Damin only allows n and rr in a syllable coda. The attested stem medial Damin clusters are rrd, rrth, rrk, rrb, jb, though j of jb is supposedly not allowed in that position. Other clusters, such as nasal–stop, are produced by Lardil grammatical suffixes. Hale & Nash posit that Damin syllables (not counting codas) may only be CVV or CCV. Purported CV syllables are restricted to C = , , , suggesting that these are underlyingly iterated consonants. Hale suggests they might be k2, ng2, l2 (rather as is a realization of j2 ) and also that thrr might be d2 . (Note that transcription of vowel length is inconsistent, and the vocabulary given above does not follow these patterns.) No consonant occurs before all three vowels. Known sequences are as follows. Note however that with only 150 roots in Damin, and several consonants and consonant clusters attested from only a single root, there are certain to be accidental gaps in this list. {| class=wikitable |- |Precede only|| p'ng , p'ny , pr2y , fng , fy , thrr , j2 , k' , nh!2 |- |Precede only|| fny , l* , ng* |- |Precede only|| d , rr , y , m! |- |Precede only(not clear if consonant is C or CC)|| f , pf |- |Precede || n!2 |- |Precede || k , ng , n! |- |Precede || b , th , j , w |- |Precede ||rn! |} is much less common than or , the opposite situation from Lardil. Morphology and lexicon Damin had a much more restricted and generic lexicon than everyday language. With only about 150 lexical roots, each word in Damin stood for several words of Lardil or Yangkaal. It had only two pronouns ( "me" (ego) and "not me" (alter)), for example, compared to Lardil's nineteen, and had an antonymic prefix ( "small", "large"). Grammatically, the Damin registers of the Lardil and Yangkaal use all the grammatical morphology of those languages, and so therefore are broadly similar, though it does not employ the phonologically conditioned alternations of that morphology. Damin is spoken by replacing the lexical roots of ordinary Lardil with Damin words. Apart from a leveling of grammatical allomorphs, the grammar remains the same. Some vocabulary:
