works both ways. Used intransitively with pro or , it names the cause of the suffering: pro o. Used transitively, the object is what you undergo: , on. From that second pattern comes the sense of putting up with something, close to , and the negative is exactly the English "I cannot bear him". The noun is sufero, and i with the causative suffix means to inflict suffering, which is a rather more useful word than one would like.
