What is another word for oar?
Pronunciation: [ˈɔː] (IPA) 
The term oar refers to a long, narrow piece of wood or metal, which is used for rowing a boat or a small watercraft. Synonyms for this term include paddle, rowing paddle, sweep, scull, and blade. Each term refers to slightly different types of oar or rowing tools, such as paddles, which tend to have shorter handles and wider blades, making them ideal for guiding larger boats or balancing oneself in shallower waters. Sweeps, on the other hand, have wider blades and longer handles for generating more power in deeper waters. Sculls are narrower than other oars and are often used in competitive rowing races.
