Welcome, Greeting, Reception
Noun
むかえ
駅まで迎えをよこすよ。
I’ll send someone to meet you at the station.
This is the noun version of the kanji welcome, so it means a welcome or a greeting, but it's usually used for someone who's coming and meeting you!
Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You learned this reading already so you should be able to read it!
