What is kunyomi?

[GenjiMain]

Hi all. What is kunyomi? For example, if the kanji 分 can be multiple words like 分かれる, 分ける, 分かる, etc., would we say all of these are simply one kunyomi (わ), or would say that these are all different kunyomi?
Thanks.

kunyomi is the "Japanese" pronunciation of a kanji while the "onyomi" is the Chinese pronunciations of a kanji. In this case, わ is one kunyomi.
