phonetic consistency with PO pou1 entry
--------------------------------

Editor: Consistency is not sufficient reason to alter the pinyin.
If the two entries are inconsistent, at least one is probably right, and maybe both are correct if there's variation in the way people say the word.
But if you make them consistent, you risk being wrong in *both* entries, unless you have evidence that the pronunciation you indicate is correct.
However, there is no evidence presented with this submission.

Here is the sort of thing that could have been submitted in evidence:
1) "PO
Mandarin: (Pinyin): pōu"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/PO#Pronunciation

2) video: 別讓中式英文影響學習|假英文的陷阱 (Post vs. Po)
