Jim Horne notes:

ABER (29-Across) usually translates to "but" or "however."

The clue "Again; once more" typically points to the German word ABERMAL or the prefix ABER- (as in abermals). While aber was historically used in some contexts to mean "again" (hence words like Aberglaube for "superstition" or "misbelief"), it is definitely not the common translation you'd find in a language app today.
