Question  How Do You Pronounce Gau?

I guess this is a stupid question, but I was never so sure..
I speak French originally, and in French, the combination of a and u make the sound o, so I always just say it as ''Go''.

But I don’t think that's it, is it? I was thinking of ''Ga-oo'' as well, is this how you would pronounce it in English?

Rhymes with "caw," as far as I'm concerned.

Gow, yes, I'm fairly certain that's how it's supposed to be pronounced.
