Eyebrow or Eyebrown?

Is the word 'Eyebrow' pronounce as 'Eye-Brown'?
Shouldn't it be 'Brow' as in 'Crow'?

Have I been saying it wrong all these years? Did my teacher teach me to speak as 'Eye-brown'?

Just like my teacher taught me to say "running nose", but instead it is "runny nose".

How about the typical Singapore saying "three" just the same way they say "tree", forgetting they should pronounce the "h" too.
