The unusual poststopped nasals appear to derive from a merger of prenasalised stops and plain nasals in [[Proto-Ash-Ish]] going into [[Proto-Ash]]. This surfaces in various ways in clusters but is also articulated initially during emphasis and after pausa. | The unusual poststopped nasals appear to derive from a merger of prenasalised stops and plain nasals in [[Proto-Ash-Ish]] going into [[Proto-Ash]].

The bilabial trill {{IPA|[ʙ]}} occurs as a free variation allophone of {{IPA|/w/}} in some contexts and is common in emphatic pronunciations of the declarative modal clitic {{ash|yo}}, sometimes allophonically altered into {{ash|wo}} and {{ash|ww}}. It is also a common approximation when Ash speakers try to produce [[Ish]]'s velarised labiodental flap {{IPA|[ⱱᶭ]}}. | |||
