The third replaced by the fourth, which leans on the third it is standing in for.

Written the other way round it is A♭sus4 — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it

G♯sus4 is G♯, C♯ and D♯ — 1, 4 and 5 counted from G♯.

These are also the notes of C♯sus2/G♯ and D♭sus2/G♯. Which name is right depends on what is underneath and what came before — the notes alone do not decide.
