I came across the sentence from a Manga which I think it would be Kansai-
dialect form.

> なんや ようわからんうちに気をうし **の** うてしまったが...

I think that it would be volitional form so I have looked it up and found that
it is 「うし **なお** う」which is different.

I would like to know is there any concept or rule behind the transforming of
「なお」 to 「の」. Or is it just a slur?

In the explanation
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/3688/is-%E3%82%84%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E3%81%9F-the-

is-the-grammatical-rule-behind-this), the example of the questioner can be
read as if it is the relationship between ウ[音便]｛おんびん｝ in the Kansai dialect
and 促音便｛そくおんびん｝ in the standard Japanese, but as shown below, there are
examples conforming to this rule and examples not conforming to this rule.  
Looking at the examples listed, even if a word in standard Japanse of the past
tense form has the same sound as the word to that the rule can be applied, it
is understood that this rule cannot be applied unless the ending form of the
present tense of the word is "う".

Explaining the relationship between "失｛うしの｝うて" and "失{うしな}って" by imitating the
explanation
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/3688/is-%E3%82%84%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E3%81%9F-the-
same-as-%E3%82%84%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%81%97%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A3%E3%81%9F-what-
is-the-grammatical-rule-behind-this) it will be as follows.

"失{うしな}う" is a "ワ行｛ぎょう｝五段｛ごだん｝活用｛かつよう｝動詞｛どうし｝ _w-sound godan conjugation verb_
", so it has a stem ending with the "[渡り音]｛わたりおん｝ _glide_ " or "半母音｛はんぼいん｝
_semivowel_ " with "w": "ushinaw-", and underwent different developments in
"関西地方｛かんさいちほう｝ _Kansai region_ " and "関東地方｛かんとうちほう｝ _Kanto region_ " regarding
"語尾変化｛ごびへんか｝ _inflection_ ". In Kanto region, the "w" was interpreted as a
consonant, and was used to trigger gemination (a.k.a. 促音便｛そくおんびん｝) in
連用形｛れんようけい｝ or in past tense:

> ushinaw-te → ushinatte 失｛うしな｝って; ushinaw-ta → ushinatta 失｛うしな｝った.

On the other hand, in Kansai region, the "w" was turned into "u" (high back
vowel), and then underwent further change of vowels (k.a. ウ音便｛おんびん｝):

> ushinaw-te → ushinaute → ushinoute 失｛うしの｝うて; ushinaw-ta → ushinauta →
> ushinouta 失｛うしの｝うた.

In addition, the dialect used in the Kanto region has been regarded as the
standard Japanese language. Wikipedia says
[here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language#Modern_Japanese) "Edo
(now Tokyo) developed into the largest city in Japan, and the Edo-area dialect
became standard Japanese."

If you read the above explanation carefully, you can see the reason why only
the verbs ending with "う", that is, "ワ行五段活用動詞 _w-sound godan conjugation
verbs_ " conform to the 促音便 and ウ音便 rule, among the examples I mentioned in

As mackygoo mentions in his answer, it is used only when the verb in
dictionary form ends with う. However, it is incorrect to say this is Kansai
dialect, as this is used in many different dialects. Also, what is strange in
your example sentence is that しまった should also change to しもうた. It might be
that the speaker feels uncomfortable saying it twice in a row (becaus of the
two long diphtongs); in Kyushu dialect that I am used to, it is common to only
say it on the last or a verb-pair, e.g. 買ってしもうた instead of こうてしもうた, but both
variants for sure exist.

Also, a word not mentioned in mackygoos list of examples is 言{ゆ}う → 言{ゆ}うて
(instead of 言{い}って) which has become quite typical of Kansai dialect and is
used among youngsters as well. In Northern Kyushu I would say that 言{ゆ}って is
more common.

This conjugational variety (うしのうた etc) is used in the following dialects:
近畿方言{きんきほうげん}（関西弁{かんさいべん}）, 岐阜西濃{ぎふせいのう}, 北陸方言{ほくりくほうげん}, 越後方言{えちごほうげん},
諸県弁{もろかたべん}と鹿児島弁{かごしまべん}を除{のぞ}き全九州弁{ぜんきゅうしゅうべん}

You should be aware though that there are regional differences as to in which
sociolects it is being used. For example in Hakata region (Northern Kyushu) it
is quite uncommon for young people to use it, but it also varies a lot if you
live in the city or on the country-side.
