Pronunciation Of 佛 in 四川话 The 1986 edition of《四川方言词典》has the following entry:


乐山的大佛——老石人
Lo2 san1 ni1 da4 fu3——nao3 si2 ren2
乐山大佛距今已有一千多年历史, 所以是“老石人”。谐“老实人”。 ▷你以为他是～嗦? 他才阴倒不老实。

佛 is given the pronunciation of fu3
The 2014 edition of the same dictionary gives 佛 the pronunciation fu2
/note: this dictionary is riddled with errors(!)/
Logically I would have assumed the pinyin to have been written fo2 - which is pretty much how it is pronounced, as far as I can tell.
《四川方言词典》has fu3 and fu2

Are Either fu3 or fu2 correct pronunciations for 佛 in 四川话?
I tried the 漢語方言大辭典, and there are many places with the fu pronunciation in the southwest mandarin area, for example 佛豆 (= 蠶豆, fava bean) is pronounced fu tou in 畢節; 佛瓜 (瓠瓜 gourd) is pronounced fu gua in 自貢, etc. Not really surprising; 弗 is fu in Mandarin.
