In this case, per the wikipedia definition, the vector has only one column, so the covariance matrix consists entirely of the covariance between the 1 and 1 column, i. If you have a random vector, then cov will just give you an estimate of the variance. This makes covx the best unbiased estimate of the covariance matrix if the observations are from a normal distribution.
