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

[JOO, Ian [Student]]

Nice example, John. This expression seems to be present in other European languges as well, such as French "une fois que" 'as soon as, lit. once that'.

From Hong Kong,
Ian

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,
