Words like pencil, counsel, vessel, castle, tussle all end in /səl/, similar to the /sələ/ ending of peninsula but with an extra schwa. Be careful: the spelling 'pen' at the start of peninsula is pronounced with a schwa /pə/, unlike the /pɛn/ in pencil. Also, insular shares the 'insula' chunk but is pronounced /ˈɪn.sjʊ.lər/.
