I don't know....i thought that "aspiration" just means "release of a
consonant with an additional puff of air", so what i'm trying to describe
is a fricative with more release of air than what is just necessary for
the creation of the sound - and the extra airflow is coming out my nose.

I tried to play with the sounds [t<h>ap] "top" and [s<h>ap], and it seems
to have the voicing-delay that was mentioned in another message.
