Just go to hunspell and grab a US dictionary that does not have these issues. Or better yet, just use the .dic and .aff file from your old Sigil version.

Search the .dic file for the word "bouse". If it exists with no affix flags on it, delete just that line and if there is a root word count as the first line of the .dic file, decrement it by 1.

If there are affix flags present, then you are deleting more than just the word bouse and would need to hand expand, and hand evaluate the resulting words and decide if any are worth keeping.

The .aff file can be used to identify each affix and the rules for applying them to a root word.

So if there are only a few affix flags on the word "bouse", they can be expanded by hand.
