[Lingtyp] Numeral 'one' and 'as soon as'

[Jesus Francisco Olguin Martinez]

Dear all,

I hope this message finds you well.

As I was consulting various sources, it seems that the numeral 'one' in the
expression of 'as soon as' is not common cross-linguistically.

In my sample, this is attested in Standard Mandarin (i.e. *yī), *Xong
(Hmong-Mien), and Iu Mien (Hmong-Mien). Are you aware of any other
languages that express 'as soon as' in a similar way?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best,
