Nynaeve temporarily holds Logain shielded on her own, while 5 average strength Aes Sedai cannot...

Dagian is weaker than Siuan, and Siuan admits that she herself is only half as strong as the average Aes Sedai. So most likely those 6 women who struggled to shield Logain were each on average twice as strong as Dagian.
Meaning that the raw strength of the 6 women holding Logain could easily have been 12 times that of Dagian.
And according to them if just 5 of them had held the shield (e.g. about 10 times Daigian's strength) then Logain would have had a chance of breaking free.
Now I'm sorry, but it is pretty clear that the gulf from Daigian to Nynaeve is in the order of 8-10 TIMES or more.
So from the point of view of a normal Aes Sedai, if the gap between Nynaeve and Egwene was just the equivalent of 1 Dagian, then that's hardly going to be anything amazing, considering that you'll only be talking about the difference between someone who is as strong as 9 Dagian's versus someone who is as strong as 10 Dagians.
So I beg to differ. The gap between Nynaeve and Egwene is quite clearly significantly more than Dagian's strength.

Could Norla be the other woman stronger than Nynaeve?

we don't know the strength difference between Cadsuane and Nynaeve

Nynaeve is of course roughly twice as strong as Cadsuane...

you and your assumptions crack me up ... there is zero evidence that Nyn is 2x Cadsuane

Another inconsistency ... since 4 women held a shield on Rand who is Stronger than Logain EDIT

Not an inconsistency and if you analyse it...

Explain to me how Moghedien is only 60% of Lanfear and managed to do anything?

Easy. And I dispute that all 6 women shielding Logain were only 10% stronger than an Accepted.

I disagree. If anything Semirhage is at the same strength level

I didn't say Semirhage is definitely one of the 6, but his answer leaves it as a viable possibility.

I'd disagree with that statement. I think he definitively ruled her out with his comment

I think Shannows' point is that even with reduced strength, Lanfear is still the most powerful

This seems like the most likely case to me, but Sommeryn is unsubstantiated to date

I think there's a stronger case for Someryn than most women

I agree that she is the most likely candidate, but there is nothing beyond speculation

Talaan isn't stronger. She is the same strength and has been actively channeling for 6 years
