Meanings and usage

verb: to make an analogy, to compare, to explain by example
譬

The standalone character carries several distinct literary senses (verb 'to compare/analogize' vs noun 'analogy/metaphor' vs 'to inform/explain'); the verb sense was chosen as most representative but this is a judgment call.
