Denominative from H4912; to {liken} that {is} (transitively) to use figurative language (an {allegory} {adage} song or the like); intransitively to resemble: - be (-come) {like} {compare} use (as a) {proverb} speak (in {proverbs}) utter.
Apparently from H4910 in some original sense of superiority in mental action; properly a pithy {maxim} usually of a metaphorical nature; hence a simile (as an {adage} {poem} discourse): - {byword} {like} {parable} proverb.
