It's not two adjacent vowels, though... it's shi and i. I'm not certain how you pronounce it, but I sure thought that the way it works is that each vowel is always pronounced the same way... which would mean combine the pronunciation of shi and then the pronunciation of i to form the (half of a) word...
By that rule, damashee(maybe extend with more e's) probably is the correct pronunciation. she and then e...
Either way, it's not damashy... at least, not unless you pronounce it damasheeee that is.
