All I know is that English, for one, is a bit of a pain in the ass to teach because you just have to do drills until you remember specific words. You can get into a pattern for words like cow, bow, now, and plow. Then you get tripped up with words like mow, show, know, and tow (which sounds like toe, rhymes with go, but not to). 🤦

And in your example, the pronunciation of bow depends on what kind of bow it is.
