From at- +‎ cenhedlu (“to conceive”).

Pronunciation

Verb

atgenhedlu (first-person singular present cenhedlaf)

Usage notes

As is practice in Welsh grammar, the verbnoun is also used as a masculine noun when referring to a process, and so atgenhedlu may be translated as "reproduction" in English.
