propose, take along, carry in hand
提 centers on presenting or moving something forward with the hand: proposing an idea, carrying something along, or holding it up.
提 combines 扌 (hand) with 是, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of correctness or alignment, suggesting a hand guiding or presenting something.
The hand 扌 beside 是 looks like someone holding up a correct proposal: carrying it forward for others to see.
For テイ, imagine a hand proposing a tray of tea: tea -> テイ, and the hand carries it along.
