[Avodah] Ashkenazic pronunciation of "HaShem"

[Dov Kay]

<<How did those Ashkenazim who don't normally use Israeli pronunciation come 
to
pronounce the last syllable of "HaShem" as a segol and not a tzeire?? >>

I have seen it argued that this is a remnant of an earlier Ashkenazic 
pronunciation, which was similar to the Sephardi one.  Also cited was the 
word "p'shat", which we ought to pronounce "p'shot".
