Note
Every sense of the verb travels in this one form, so the subject usually tells you which is meant. When a thing is the subject, such as a tone or a set of figures, it suggests by implying something or bringing an idea to mind. When a person is the subject, it more often means putting something forward for consideration: she suggests a delay. The old sense of tempting someone to evil is obsolete.
