¶ Probably contact of [s] with an immediately following syllabic liquid can
trigger asshibilation, allegro-wise. (It's the pronunciation prudes' job to
be on the qui vive for such diversity, and, of course, stamp it out.
Sometimes I agree.)
¶ Sounds to me like (@2.21/3.08): <capsule> [ˈkʰæpˌʃɫ̩] [CAP-shl] (with
final velarized syllabic L).
¶ SAE [ˈkʰæpˌsɫ̩] [CAP-sl] (i.e., me).
¶ Macmillan UK /ˈkæpsjuːl, US /ˈkæpsəl ~ ˈkæpˌsjul/.
¶ UK [ˈkʰæpsˌjʊl] [CAPS-yull (~sorta)] (

¶ Jumpin' Jehoshaphat!
