In the Kansai dialect, the word oru has been substituted for the word iru.

Yep, I'll vouch for that. Actually, I think it's gone so far - at least in Hiroshima dialect - that they use oru instead of iru for even things like shite-iru. So then becomes shite-oru which then is shortened to shittoru and confuses the heck out of me.
