possible duplicate of How can I form a word like "quadruple" for any number I want? Also When do the “-uple”s end? and Is there another word for five times, such as triple, quadruple?, which already have been closed as duplicates of that one. – FumbleFingers Jun 12 '15 at 15:42

I wonder how much native speakers vary in how high they're willing to go. For example I'd say "octuple" but never "nonuple", that's my limit. – Steve Jessop Jun 12 '15 at 19:22
