I was actually looking for "譬語 [ひご]".
On the other similar-type entries, both "例" and "譬" are included in the same entry, see for example:-

"例え(P); 譬え 【たとえ】 (n) example; simile; metaphor; allegory; parable"

Should you decide to promote the above entry, then maybe you would consider including the alternative kanji [譬] as well in the entry.

You may also like to delete entries like the following, which entries seem to be, or would be if the above were promoted, clearly covered in main entries:-

例語 【れいご】 a word for example; WI
譬 【たと】 (?) ???; RH
譬【たとえ】 (?) ???; RH
譬 【ひ】 (?) ???; RH

[P.S. Once again I am seeing a caution. Perhaps I am doing something odd. Anyway, the caution is as follows:-

Caution: The following existing entries contain kanji or readings that exist in your proposed entry. Before submitting your entry, please make sure that it is not a duplicate of, or should not be an amendment to, one of these entries. 

1556950 冷語 【 れいご 】 hard words 

Caution: One or more senses you gave do not have any PoS (Part-of-Speech, for example [n], [v5k], etc.) tags. Note that PoS tags must be specified on each sense explicitly -- they do not carry over from the preceeding sense.]
