(subtype)	amend
(headw1)	呼ぶ
(kana1)	よぶ
(pos1)	v5b
(english1)	to call out; to invite
(comment)	"彼の名前は健二ですが、みんなは彼を健と呼びます。
His name is Kenji, but everyone calls him Ken."
This example comes from the examples list, but current definition of 「よぶ」 doesn't have such a meaning listed:
"呼ぶ 【よぶ】 (v5b,vt) to call out; to invite; (P); EP"
So then do you believe that it would be appropriate to add an additional definition for this word--perhaps "to be called" or "to be called by a certain name" or something like that?
Many thanks.
