Motivation There are four senses of 'suffer', which all basically mean 'to feel pain'. No other reference dictionary makes this distinction. The first sense allows transitive and intransitive usage and the others only allow intransitive usage, but they all seem to have the same frame.

If the frames are the same and the same valency was confirmed with some corpora evidence... I would agree to merge.
