    The letter ה sounds like "hey". and you pronounce is as "Shmoneh"
    most of the words that ends with ה sounds like "A"
    "Shmoneh" is an exception.
    but it doesn't really matter is you say Shmoneh or Shmonah.

    Shmoneh could change when your talking about Nouns. I mean Male\Female Nouns.
    for guys you say Shmonah (שמונה בנים)
    for girls its Shmoneh (שמונה בנות)
