I haven't been following Peter's evidence on this point, but I thought I'd 
mention Robert Holmstedt's paper at SBL San Antonio on the diachronics of 
אֲשֶר )$R. He did discuss the usage of אֲשֶר )$R vis-à-vis שְ $ in Late 
Biblical Hebrew, but I'm not sure I recall his conclusions exactly. I do have 
a note that Huehnergard had a forthcoming article "On the Etymology of the 
Hebrew Relative שְ $."
