Before I can decide on a pronunciation, let us tentatively say it is {ash} if {a} were to stand as negative for some thing.  Otherwise, it may be changed to {ísh}.

Tentatively:
Ash/Ish {ash}/{ísh} & Shna {sh~na.} श ् न   = श्न 

Please note, I am on very shaky ground, and I expect to rewrite this note after more study.

 अश्मन््   ás-man rock, stone; thunderbolt; heaven: lc. in the sky: du. heaven and earth; -máya, a. (î) made of stone. 

UKT 140806, 161009: The "thunderbolt" given above means the weapon of Indra or Jove of the Greek/Roman legends which when used is accompanied by a flash of lighting and thunder. It is actually the discharge of static electricity between the thunder-cloud and the ground. Because of flashes of light the cut-diamond (a natural stone cut to give out flashes of light) has been related to thunderbolt. See Esoteric Buddhism, Vajrayana :

- - UHS-PMD0145
  UKT from UHS: ¹. mfn. not the same, no comparable person, unevenness. ². m. stone, rock

UKT conjecture 131112, 161009 (3 yrs! and I haven't made much way):
   Though the Skt-Dev and Pal-Myan words are not exactly the same, from the meaning "rock, stone" given in Macdonell, I have placed them together. The meanings given by UHS in ¹. and that given by Macdonell as "heaven and earth" shows the same idea of contrast.
   UHS shows that ¹. & ². should be pronounced differently. We can see that ¹. is the antonym of {þa.ma.}, whereas ². seems to be a word 'rock, stone' without antonyms. And so, ². should be represented as

{ash-mûn}. This follows that ¹. may be represented as {ash-mûn}, from which we can easily get {a.sha.mûn}:

{ash-mûn} --> {a.sha.mûn} --> {a.þa.ma.}

BPal: {æþ~þa.} = - UHS PMD0150
 
  UKT from UHS:
  ¹. m. shoulder. ². m. edge, corner. ³. m. horse.

UKT Conjecture 131112, 161010: See - p001-1.htm (link chk 161010). Below is my suggestion on ³. 'horse':

Skt-Myan: / {ash-wa.} --> {a.sha.wa.} --> {a.þa.þa.}
--> Pal-Myan: {aþ~þa.}

As for ¹. & ²., I have to explain citing the absence of r1c5 phoneme {nga.} /ŋ/ in Skt-Dev. The Sanskrit speakers, the new comers into India from the Iranian or Persian highlands are IE (Indo-European) speakers. They adopted many customs and beliefs including the language of the indigenous peoples of the Indian subcontinent who speak dialects of Védic (Tib-Bur), the most important being Magadhi speech written in Asokan script in which the r1c5 phoneme /ŋ/ is important. As a supporting evidence I cite the word for 'fish' in Néwari न्या ; ङा {nga}, and in Burmese {nga:} which is the same except in emphasis.

#2. A Comparative and Etymological Dictionary of Nepali Language by R L Turner
- Turner-NepalDict<Ô> / bkp<Ô> (link chk 161002)
On p159, there are a few words beginning with {nga.}.
The intruders adopted the belief in Mantras of the old Védic religion. They promoted their male gods over those of the indigenous peoples in which Indra, Agni, and Soma were the foremost gods. They wrote "stories" which were presented as "ancient treaties" {pu-rûN kyûm:} which resulted in Gautama Buddha calling them heretics and their language, Sanskrit, not fit to be used for Buddhist liturgy.
See: Language problem of primitive Buddhism, by Chi Hisen-lin (季羡林 , 1911 – 2009) in LANGUAGE AND RELIGION
- lang-relig-indx.htm > lang-probl.htm (update 151130)
In those "ancient treatises", the intruders portrayed their chief gods, Vishnu and Siva as superior to Indra, Agni and Soma.

Based on the presence/absence of r1c5 phoneme {nga.} /ŋ/ , I suggest that Skt-Dev (IE - IndoEuropean) was been derived from Vedic (Tib-Bur) of the Tib-Bur speakers (the aboriginal peoples) by Panini for the intruders who may been called the rhotic hissing-hushing speakers.

The Sanskrit speakers overcame the Tib-Bur speakers militarily, took over the mother-goddess religion of the Tib-Bur and incorporated it into the male-dominated déva religion of the IE. The Sanskritists rewrote the Veda in which they married their male gods taking over the Mother-goddesses of the conquered: Mahabrahma to Saraswati and Vishnu to Lakshmi. Finally, another group of invader-conquerors speaking Austro-Asiatic languages, entered the subcontinent from the south. They married their god Siva to Parvati and many other Mother-goddesses.

The newcomers took over the Vedic language and its mantras, perfected a language which they called Sanskrit meaning "refined". They made themselves Masters (kings and ruling class) and Teachers of the Masters, and Controllers of Trade and Commerce. They made the conquered aboriginals their servants - Sudra. Some were made to do the most menial jobs such as night-soil. These were branded as Outcasts - the Chandalas. See:

"The horse has been present in South Asia from at least the middle of the second millennium BC, more than two millennia after its domestication in Central Asia. ... According to RV 7.18.19, Dasyu tribes (the Ajas, Shigrus and Yakshus) also had horses. McDonnell and Keith point out that the Rigveda does not describe people riding horses in battle (see Bryant 2001: 117). ... The Ashvamedha or horse sacrifice is a notable ritual of the Yajurveda. ...".

Ashvini : the First Nakshatra

- UKT 170421 : Before we came to the file-entry on Nakshatra, this note is to serve as the introduction.

Along what may be described as the Celestial Equator are usually found 27 nakshatras {nak~hkût} नक्षत्र «nakṣatra», but in some years an extra one, 28. Abhijit, is included increasing the number to 28. The 27 nakshatras beginning of 0 deg. of Aries are:
01. Ashvinī , -------------- 02. Bharanī , ---------------------- 03. Kṛttikā
04. Rohinī , --------------- 05. Mrigashīra , ------------------- 06. Ārdrā
07. Punarvasu , --------- 08. Pushya , ----------------------- 09. Ashlesha
10. Maghā , -------------- 11. Pūrva Phalgunī (Pubbha) , 12. Uttara Phalgunī (Uttara)
13. Hasta , --------------- 14. Chitrā , ------------------------ 15. Svātī
16. Vishākhā , ----------- 17. Anurādhā , ------------------- 18. Jyeshtha
19. Mūla , ----------------- 20. Pūrva Ashādhā , ----------- 21. Uttara Ashādhā
22. Shravana , ----------- 23. Dhanistha , ------------------ 24. Shatabhisha
25. Pūrva Bhādrapadā , 26. Uttara Bhādrapadā , ------ 27.Revatī
28. Abhijit

A branch of Bur-Astrology always take the number to be 27 which can be grouped into 9 taras comprising of 3 nakshatras in each tara . Pix of Nine Tara, and Twelve Rasi are from MLC MED2006.

 

From: See Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashvini 170421

Ashvini is the first nakshatra (lunar mansion) in Hindu astrology having a spread from 0°-0'-0" to 13°-20', corresponding to the head of Aries, including the stars β and γ Arietis. The name aśvinī is used by Varahamihira (6th century). The older name of the asterism, found in the Atharvaveda (AVS 19.7; in the dual [1]) and in Panini (4.3.36), was aśvayúj "harnessing horses".

Ashvini is ruled by Ketu, the descending lunar node. In electional astrology, Asvini is classified as a small constellation, meaning that it is believed to be advantageous to begin works of a precise or delicate nature while the moon is in Ashvini. [2] Asvini is ruled by the Ashvins, the heavenly twins who served as physicians to the gods. Personified, Asvini is considered to be the wife of the Asvini Kumaras. [3] Ashvini is represented either by the head of a horse, or by honey and the bee hive. [4]

Traditional Hindu given names are determined by which pada (quarter) of a nakshatra the moon was in at the time of birth. In the case of Ashvini, the given name would begin with the following syllables: Chu, Che, Cho, La [5]

Hemanta & Sisira Utu

- UKT 140807, 161011

The Luni-Solar year may be divided in terms of Lunar months or Solar months. The festivals are usually based on Lunar months, in which the month begins on the day after the No-Moon day, through Full-Moon day, and ending in the following No-Moon day. As a very rough guide, you can take the beginning of the lunar as the middle of the Solar month. In the following article the author has given in terms of the Sun transiting the 12 Rasis of the Zodiac or Constellations.

We have a mix up in Bur-Myan Astrology. What we have thought to be Pali terms are actually Sanskrit terms, as can be seen in absence of {praiþ~þa.} in UHS PMD. We find the term {praiþ~þa.} in MLC MED2006-293.

Next, in Bur-Myan, we usually say {ra-þi U.tu.} or {U.tu. ra-þi} as a combined term meaning "weather".

If we are to combine {praiþ~þa.} & {hé-mûn-ta.} to either {U.tu.} or {ra-þi}, we usually say {praiþ~þa. ra-þi}, and {hé-mûn-ta. U.tu.}.

From Edava Pathy, the South West Monsoon strikes Kerala by Govind Kumar
Kerala Heritages -  http://www.keralaheritages.com/index.htm 140807
UKT note: the author is writing for a particular year which was given in the article. "Edava" in Telugu language means the 7th.

When the Sun enters the 15th degree of Sidereal Taurus {praiþ~þa. ra-þi}, Edava Pathi or the South West Monsoon is caused in Kerala.

The sidereal months of Sagittarius {Da.nu. ra-þi} and Capricorn {ma.ka-ra. ra-þi} constitute Hemanta Rithu {hé-mûn-ta. U.tu.}. The coldness has not left Kerala. This Hemanta Rithu will be there till the 12th of February.

Sisira Rithu {þi.þi.ra. U.tu.}, the sidereal months of Aquarius {koän ra-þi} and Pisces {main ra-þi}, is very hot indeed. It normally starts from the 13th of February to the 13th April! During this sixth season of India, hot spells are normal and more than 100 people perished last year due to sunstroke.

Now it is still cold in the morning and even during midday. No need for air conditioners during this season.

Evening is also characterised by cold winds. The Sun will be transiting Sravana, Alpha Aquilae, initiating Thiruvonam Njattuvela tomorrow. ( Jan 24 ).

Amongst the six Rithus or seasons, Vasanta ( Medam & Edavam ) is comparatively less hot, Greeshma ( Gemini and Cancer ) and Varsha ( Leo and Virgo ) are rainy seasons, Sarat ( Libra and Scorpio ) is less rainy, Hemanta {hé-mûn~ta. U.tu.} ( Sagittarius and Capricorn ) is cold and dry and Sisira ( Aquarius & Pisces ) is very hot indeed !

The basic akshara {þa.} is known as {þa.lé:} 'small tha', and the horizontal conjunct {þa.kri:} 'big tha'. Being a conjunct {þa.kri:} is mute in Bur-Myan - a fact unknown to most Bur-Myan speakers including senior monks. I did not know of it until I started studying the akshara system of writing.

We are faced with an unfortunate IAST transliteration problem in the study of Skt-Dev. The IAST transliteration «tha» refers to another grapheme थ /tʰ/ - the allophone of /t/. Since the common transcription for {þa.} in Myanmarpré is <tha>, Romabama has to use the Old-English 'thorn' character for {þa.} , and {hta.} for थ /tʰ/ avoiding <tha> in both cases.

Siddha

- UKT 161011: I became familiar with the word {þaid~dhi.} in connection with consecrated objects especially counting beads or rosary, early in my life. The person, a layperson, a hermit, or a Buddhist monk, who consecrate the object must be a person of esoteric accomplishment and is known as {paid~dha.}.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddha 161011

Siddha (Tamil: 'Great thinker/wise man', Skt-Dev, {þaid~Da.} सिद्ध (= स ि द ् ध) "perfected one") is a term that is used widely in Indian religions and culture. It means "one who is accomplished". [1] [2] It refers to perfected masters who have achieved a high degree of physical as well as spiritual perfection or enlightenment. In Jainism, the term is used to refer the liberated souls. Siddha may also refer to one who has attained a siddhi, paranormal capabilities.

Siddhas may broadly refer to siddhars, naths, ascetics, sadhus, or yogis because they all practice sādhanā. [3]

The Svetasvatara (II.12) presupposes a 'Siddha body'. [4]
