Oristar it might also help you to know the word is pronounced differently for each meaning.
A row as in argument, is pronounced like Cow.
A row as in a line, is pronounced like Toe.

Thanks Ceili,
Some of my dictionaries all label the pronunciation of row as rowe.
What you are recommending is American Accepted Pronunciation?

Well, I don't think I've ever heard my parents - they are English and Irish respectively, or any Canadian pronounce it the way you've indicated, but I may be wrong.

Oristar, you can play the sound at the site below.
I think row in this context is a noun per MW.
Main Entry: 5row
Pronunciation: 'rau
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1746
: a noisy disturbance or quarrel
Regarding this row, thousands of people are boycotting or will boycott holidays in the USA over here due to the wonderful Dept. of Homeland Security's actions... :@
