• “il”, in New English-Irish Dictionary, Foras na Gaeilge, 2013-2024

• el (archaic or regional)
• 'l (archaic or pronunciation spelling)
• i' (Tuscan pronunciation spelling)

From earlier *ille, *elle, from Latin illum (and illud), ultimately from ille. The final vowel fell by apocope, and the /e/ (< Latin ⟨ē ĭ⟩) in monosyllable particles shifted to /i/ in Tuscan, compare in, di, ri-, mi. The form el is found in older texts and can still be heard regionally.

Patota claims this to be from the older form lo (from the same source), via an intermediate form l. The initial i would be a svarabhakti vowel added to the form l in order to make the pronunciation easier.^[1]
