mouse
/mous/
noun
- Any of numerous small rodents of the families Muridae and Cricetidae, such as the house mouse, characteristically having a pointed snout, small rounded ears, and a long naked or almost hairless tail.
- Any of various similar or related animals, such as the jumping mouse, the vole, or the jerboa.
- A cowardly or timid person.
The diphthong formed in English by ow (cow, fowl) or ou (doubt, mouse) is pronounced with either [aʊ̯] or [æʊ̯] in General American English (see, e.g., Wikipedia). [aʊ̯] is usually taught as the standard, hence the dictionary focusing on it. But I've heard both widely, and a chart of dialects suggests [æʊ̯] can appear in General American English, Miami, New York, and Philadelphia, and both Southern American English and AAVE use [æɔ̯], [æɒ̯] and similar (Wikipedia).

How come words such as 'Mouse' have an e at the end? I understand in Early Middle English it would have been pronounced 'muːsə,' although in Old English it would have been pronounced 'muːs.' Where did this schwa come from if it wasn't present before? - Quora
Answer (1 of 3): I think in this particular case, the -e is a sign for the dipthongisation of the preceding vowel. Even the convoluted English orthography has its rules ;). The original English word for mouse was mus, pronounced like “moose”. Same goes for “hus” and “lus” and so on.
