(This connection of letters to numerical digits has been done by means of sortition; however, there is a noted similarity to old and modern Hebrew letters, which are given in the square brackets)
(This connection of letters to numerical digits has been done by means of sortition; however, there is a noted similarity to old and modern Hebrew letters, which are given in the square brackets; also there is similarity to corresponding Greek and Cyrillic letters).
So the 10 digits are quite enough to write the 12 phonemes of Daman Diwan language.

*Such a small number of indispensable digits to represent Daman means we can use only those for Morse code, so if we symbolise a dot by “.” and a dash by “-”, the necessary Morse symbols (by order of brevity, the shorter for the more frequent) are:

:(In Dama, the difference between I/E, U/O is not phonemic. J and W as phonemes are different, but Daman words only start with CONSONANTS (including J, W), and then there is always a vowel after each consonant with the exception of final N (which is better, but not compulsory, to be pronounced as /ŋ/). Therefore, 16127 can only be JAJON or JAJUN, both correct in Dama; and the same happens with all other Daman words: they can be rendered totally correctly by the use of only the 10 digits, that is with a pad of only 10 digits plus a space key. The connection of the 10 digits to Latin letters is obvious, based on similarity of shape.)

*Daman Braille (described in the last pages of https://www.academia.edu/12434367/theory_history) also uses only 10 symbols and it can be learnt in 3 minutes, while formal Braille has a repertoire of 64 possible signs (with 2 columns of 3 dots for each letter) expandable to 256 possible signs (with 2 columns of 4 dots for each letter, as available in the Segoe UI Symbol font) and requires at least 3 months to be learnt with the quickest teaching course.

This Morse code for Daman was not formed by means of sortition; rather, it was made by means of logic according to the esoteric meaning of each phoneme which was revealed by sortition: . (dot) being for yin and dash (-) for yang, a single dot is I/E, the yin element; a single dot is for U/O, the yang element; the other vowel, A, is represented by the shortest available combination, two dots; of consonants, the axis consonant which is N (also used for -N) is represented by the next shortest combination: -. (N- meaning "thing", -. indicates first yang, tangibility, then yin, changeability); the next most frequent consonant is M, used for the most common postposition MA "towards", so represented by .- (from yin to yang, it indicates movement towards something); the next most common consonant is S, used for the postposition SA "with" and the concept of possessing, having, so it is represented by the next shortest combination -- (twice yang, tangibility, to indicate possession or  presence). T- "human", with an esoteric meaning "life", is represented by ... (3 yin making the "earth" trigram of ancient oriental tradition); R- "desire; characteristic" is represented by .-., the trigram that indicates desire and consequent danger; ..-, the "mountain" trigram, stands for K- which has the esoteric meaning of stability; and -.., the trigram of movement (WUTO), stands for B-, which means "acting, doing, causing".
*Daman is also unique in having its own writing system which is logographic and phonemic at the same time, as explained in https://www.academia.edu/12434367/theory_history .
