Topic: sus = sus4?

I posted this question in another thread and it never got answered because it was off topic.

When you see a chord notation "sus" by itself (as in "Gsus") instead of Gsus2 or Gsus4, is it normally assumed that it means sus4 and not sus2?

In other words, how do you know it's not calling for a sus2?

Re: sus = sus4?

I've always assumed sus4, but I don't know.  I second Selso's observation.

Sus assumes sus4.
