Actually, over here in my "subdialect"/accent of American English, "ash"
and "and" are pronounced [E@S] and [E@nd], where [E@] is the same
diphthong as in "bale" and "bear".
I've never been satisfied with the [E@] representation....it's always
sounded to me like it starts higher up in the mouth than [E], closer to
[e]...
