What are the Hiragana columns called in Japanese?


For instance English texts to learn Japanese will refer to ま、み、む、め、も as the Ma
column, and I've even seen this terminology used in translations of Japanese
material (although I unfortunately couldn't find the original text for these)
but I've never seen what the actual words used in Japanese to refer to it are.




Actually, I think it's more typically thought of as a ~~row~~ line of text.
See for example [Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%BE%E8%A1%8C).
The ~~row~~ line that contains ま would be called ま行{ぎょう}, where 行{ぎょう} just
means a line of text/row/column.
