From Wenlin Dictionaries

Every now and then I come upon something that makes me wish I could have seen an early draft of this dictionary - and had a chance to raise questions with the author. This is a good example. When I lived I Hong Kong in the early 1960s, I always heard (including from my own children) "po4po2", never "po4po1" and seldom (maybe in some special contexts) "po4po4". I wonder if, at an earlier stage of production, it would have been feasible to give dominant forms 1st position among a group of synonyms?
