I followed the paradigm set by "gyroscope." But the switching, from first soft G then hard, tended to make me stutter, reciting. Hard G in both, all right, that should clear that up.

Webster's Third supports the soft G pronunciation, not the hard... which other pronunciation curiously enough means "a malignant spirit or spook" in Scots. Something new every day.

Hard-G for "gimble" as in "gimbal" (which goes both ways) is just fun.

I've confused myself ... yet again.

Soft-gyre and hard-gimble here.

ELAINE: He has this power over me, okay. He has this way of manipulating every little word I say. He's like a Svenjolly.

GEORGE: Svengali.

ELAINE: What did I say?

JERRY: Svenjolly.

ELAINE: Svenjolly? I did not say Svenjolly.

JERRY: George?

GEORGE: Svenjolly.

ELAINE: I don't see how I could have said Svenjolly.

JERRY: So maybe he's got like a cheerful mental hold on you.

Yes.
