Etymology

From cyf- +‎ gweld.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /kəvˈwɛld/

Verb

cyf-weld (first-person singular present cyfwelaf)

Usage notes
  • As the stress on the final syllable, technically, this should be spelt with a hyphen as cyf-weld. However, the older spelling cyfweld is very familiar and so extremely common.
