The word bow can be both a verb or a noun, depending on how it is used and worded in the context of a sentence. Keeping this in mind, it is a noun if you are referring to the kind that involves expressing a physical gesture out of respect and/or politeness. Used in this form, it is pronounced just as the ow is pronounced in the word clown. For example, After introducing the family's dinner guests, the butler took a bow before exiting the room. Please note that if you were to say, he bowed, then it would be a verb. It's also a noun when used to refer to either a bow and arrow, as well as tying a ribbon into a bow/ a bow tie. Both of these are pronounced just like the ow in the words, blow or crow.
Example 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."
