What's the word for "twelvely"?
If something is nested twice, it's "double nested".
If something is nested three times, it's "triple nested".
If something is nested twelve times, it's ... What? "Dodecly nested?"
Edit: Apparently, according to websters-online-dictionary.com as quoted below, the adverbial form of twelve actually is "twelvely", but that form is virtually never used. Is there one that is used?
- Virtually never used adverbial inflection of the adjective twelve.
Nested twelve times is the clearest, most unambiguous, and most common way to say this. You could also say nested twelvefold—*twelvely, however, does not appear in the OED and I would not recommend using it.
