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

[MM Jocelyne Fernandez]

French has the same use of "un" in "une fois" (once), but it is not the 
equivalent of /"as soon as"/:

     - Une fois [que tu es] prêt, appelle-moi! /"once [you are] ready, 
call me!"/

does not imply the same immediacy as

     - Dès que tu es prêt, appelle-moi !/"as soon as you are ready, call 
me!"/
