Wassail, I believe comes from Anglo-Saxon (?)  Wes ðu hal.

Hail! or Farewell! ('be thou hale/healthy/well (etc.)')

A lot of these Old double consonants are quite difficult and need practice

I have been assured by a Welsh-speaking friend that hl is pronounced
around the same as the ll in Welsh - this is effectively done by this manner

lips slightly parted and the tip of the tongue behind the two front teeth of
the upper jaw
now try to hiss - this is involved when you say Welsh Town names like

Llandudno. and Dolgellau it is easier for others not Welsh-spoken to use the

commonly acceptable way of lightly using the thl to get round it - that is
also good
When pronouncing the Welsh place-names I find their rules acceptable to
pronouncing
the Old Norse names for places and people.
http://www.kc3.co.uk/~bicycle/sideways/welsh.html THis may help is
certainly hope so

for Hlinir I believe this should be spelled Hlynir if it is a Name and there
are Icelanders
with this name, but not even Google could turn up a God - I trust someone
can help here
