  Comments:
"convey; pass on" is a separate sense in several of the JEs and kokugos. Given the number of glosses, I think it's best to preserve the 3-sense split. I also suggest leading with this sense.

I'm just trying to make sense 2 coherent
In my understanding, there are always three people involved: A, B, and C
A is trying to contact (or visit) C through whatever means, but instead only gets hold of B. It falls on B to convey this information to C. Therefore, B acts as an intermediary between A and C.

With this set of glosses, there should be a clear link between senses 1 & 2, where previously there was none that I could see.

Does this actually mean "to answer the phone" or is it supposed to be "to call someone onto the phone" (ie. "there is a phone call for you")?
