they may push forth
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active subjunctive, 3rd person plural (SAA3P) — simple/completed aspect, active voice, potential or intended action. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
they may put forth
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Context is about fig trees sprouting leaves; 'push forth' (P1) is less idiomatic than 'put forth' and less accurate to botanical context. 'They may put forth' preserves the sense of growth. |
