The spelling of the word 'Shewel' is quite interesting. It appears to be an alternative spelling of the word 'shovel', which is pronounced as /ˈʃʌvəl/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The pronunciation of 'shovel' and 'shewel' is identical, but the former spelling has taken root in English language usage. The word 'shovel', which means a tool used for digging or moving materials, derives from the Old English word 'scofl', indicating that the tool has been in use for a long time.
