I've confirmed on a 10.5.18 instance I have here that row_number *can* be used 
as a column name, however I don't believe it was an available window function.

See https://mariadb.com/kb/en/window-functions/ and select the box down on the 
left-hand side "MariaDB starting with 10.5.0" - you'll find that row_number is 
no longer highlighted, indicating to me that it was not an available function 
in that version of MariaDB.
