does TH scope go along with TH span?

Hi folks.

Hope I can ask this question in a clear way.

Say you have a multi-row, multi-column table. In the left-hand column,
there is a table cell that has the row span set to "2", so visually it
lines up with two rows.

If that cell is called out as a TH, with a scope="row", is its "header
role" applied to both rows that it spans in the html?

Thanks,

Keith
