    In Luke 21:30, the aorist active subjunctive plural form occurs of trees as the APB renders, "As soon as they put forth leaves." In Acts 19:33, the aorist active genitive masculine plural participle occurs in the crowd's action toward Alexander; the APB renders that some "put forward Alexander."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as leaves that "put forth" and as Alexander being "put forward." These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish separate meanings.
