row boats
When you row a boat on a pond, you are usually facing the back of the boat. Also, the oars are usually attached in the middle of the oar to the side of the boat. So if you pull the handle of the oar towards the front of the boat (towards you when rowing), the paddle of the oar is moving towards the back of the boat (the oar acts like a lever-arm). To move a boat forward, you actually have to move water backward! It's pushing water back that really moves the boat forward. So, when you pull the oar towards you, the paddle moves towards the back of the boat, and that pushes water towards the back of the boat, pushing the boat the opposite direction, which is forward! Just make sure to turn around once in a while because you're not looking where you are going!

They're paddles to row a boat.
To move a boat using oars is to row a boat. The action of the oars in the water propels the boat. In ancient times, rowing vessels were used in naval warfare and trade.
The homograph for "row" can refer to either: 1) a line of seats or objects arranged one behind the other, or 2) the act of propelling a boat forward using oars.
The most commen example given is stepping out of a row boat. You go forward, the boat goes backward.
The homograph word for "use oars to move a boat" and "a noisy fight" is "row."
