Phonemic Pattern
A pair of phones in complementary distribution may sometimes be classified into separate phonemes on the basis of phonemic pattern. In other words, is there a group of phonemes which exhibit a similar pattern of distribution (eg. clustering behaviour, morphology, etc.) to one of the phones being examined? In the case of the pair [h], [ŋ] there are some similarities in patterning between [h] and certain fricatives, and between [ŋ] and the nasals.
For example, there is a suffix which when placed before a word commencing with a stop has the effect of negating the original meaning. The suffix has the form /ɪ/ plus the nasal homorganic with the stop.
ie.
"impossible"
[ɪmp...]
"intolerable"
[ɪnt...]
"incalculable"
[ɪŋk...] or [ɪnk...]
(free variation in citation form, but homorganic predominating in rapid speech)
Clearly, this pattern suggests that [ŋ] behaves in some instances with the same phonological pattern as the other nasals. It does in fact raise the question of [ŋ] being an allophone of /n/. This was indeed the case until the 1600's, but now there are quite a few minimal pairs which have since crept into the language. ("sin"/"sing", "run"/"rung").
