>Thanks. Guess I didn't remember quite right. Still not sure what to do with the "ll," but I think I'm closer now.

Just soften the l. Just like n is softened in "new" or d in "goodyear" or "wouldya" or ch in "gotcha", so l should be softened, amalgamated with the y sound.

You mean you really tried to memorize the pronunciation? How long ago was that, 5, 6 years? Wow.
