Is bow a long o word?

The sound of a vowel depends on the dialect of the language you are speaking, as well as context. In this case "bow" isn't very informative, if you think of the sentence "The girl with a bow in her hair took a bow from the bow of a boat, before shooting an arrow with her bow." Most dialects identify two or three sounds for the 'ow' in that sentence. In the general American dialect, it could make what is identified as a long o, similar to the vowel sounds in "no" or "goat", or it could make a very different sound, like the vowel sound in "now".
