There was never an [u] in the plural of mouse/louse at any stage of English—that [u] had been rounded through i-affection at a pre-English stage (or was the “/u/” there a typo for “/i/”?). If you're talking about Old English, it wasn't an [i] either (at least only in some dialects), but [yː]—and not with a subtle [a] before either. That diphthongisation came later, in late Middle English and Early Modern English. | |
