Narrative:

After takeoff from runway 8 in denver, co, departure control had us on a vector that was taking us to the northeast. Departure control then told us to turn left and proceed yammi. I started my turn to the left thinking yammi might be a VOR on the yellowstone 1 SID that we were filed for. I was unaware that yammi was an intersection and that we had no way of going direct. I should have not accepted the clearance.
