Can you help us?


Euphony reasons perhaps? In English one could insert a schwa between
'm' and 'l', but in Latin languages 'Kreml'  would  be  just impossible
to pronounce.

Even if it didn't occur to us to pronounce the end of the word as we do for "camel", that wouldn't explain addition of an arbitrary syllable like "-in".
