Hmm... that could be why i interpret {'ll} attached to non-pronouns as
/@l/... i feel like in "Ada'll" and "Sandra'll" there's a very short
schwa in between the end of the name and the /l/. or maybe it's a
lengthening of the name's ending schwa.  But it's for sure not simply
/'ejd@l/ or /'ejdl=/.  I'm probably pronouncing it /'ejd@l=/.
