οὖν

• ὦν (ôn) — Doric, Ionic, Aeolic, Boeotian
• οὖν (oûn) — Ionic, Thessalian

According to Beekes, (2010) "the relation between οὖν and ὦν is unclear. Unconvincing explanations in Brugmann-Thumb 1913: 633 and in Schwyzer 1950: 586f. On οὖν in Homer, cf. Reynen Glotta 36 (1957): Iff. and Reynen Glotta 37 (1958): 67ff."
