Augmented

Hello! Me again!

So, like, does augmented usually only refer to a sharp 5? I just read that an augmented sixth chord contains the interval of an augmented sixth above the bass. Now, wouldn't this be a seventh (b7) chord? Is there an actual difference other than the names?

Is the word augmented used for notes other than the 5th? An augmented 3rd would be a sus4, right? aug2 = minor 3rd? What about an aug4?
