In this paper we return to a model with domain wall fermions in a waveguide. This model contains a Yukawa coupling [ital y] which is needed for gauge invariance. A previous paper left the analysis for large values of this coupling incomplete. We fill the gap by developing a systematic expansion suitable for large [ital y], and using this, we gain an analytic understanding of the phase diagram and fermion spectrum. We find that in a sense all the species doublers come back for large [ital y]. The conclusion that no lattice chiral gauge theory can be obtained from this approach therefore remains valid.
