Dear B-Greekers,

in addition to GAR, I have found OUN difficult to handle. I often 
feel that translating it to "therefore" or "then" imposes too strong 
a connection between OUN sentences and what goes before them. I 
remember that OUN is often used interchangeablely with DE, as 
evidenced by textual variants. Then I do not seem to grasp the
semantic range of OUN. I would appreciate if you can explain 
the semantic range of OUN to me, which can mean from "therefore"
to "DE" depending on context. Some references?

Sincerely

Moon
