row
Propel by oar
Row has two distinct meanings from different origins.
One is a line of things arranged side by side: a row of houses, a row of seats, three in a row.
To row is also to propel a boat with oars: We rowed across the lake.
The other row (rhyming with "cow") is British for a noisy argument or quarrel: They had a terrible row about money.
