When a multisyllable word ends with a vowel followed by consonant L, it is typically pronounced /əL/.

We call this pattern the Ending V+L.

Here are the common Vowel+L spellings:

AL says  /əL/ as in “oval”

EL says /əL/ as in “camel”

IL says /əL/as in “pencil”

OL says /əL/ as in “symbol”

UL says /əL/ as in “mogul”

YL says /əL/ as in “vinyl”

In each case, the vowel is unaccented and turns to schwa.

The most frequent ending V+L spellings are AL and EL. IL and OL are less frequent, and UL and YL are rare.

For the probability order for the ending vowel L spellings, simply write V+L to represent all the vowel+L endings, instead of writing each combination separately.
