The pattern is established. Once, twice, thrice, fourice (appears in the King James Bible) [no, it doesn't]...
Since there is no established words for five times, six times, etc; we will have to derive them. In this case we add together the suffix is -ice and an English number as the root. We expect this to follow a similar pattern to adding a "th" suffix to the roots indicating placement order: fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh. Proper spelling will be guided by natural ease of pronunciation and spelling precedence. For example:
once the i is dropped
twice the i replaces the vowel
Some guidelines
Following an n the suffix drops the i to keep the word one syllable, easing pronunciation.
Following a voiced vowel the vowel is replaced by -ice
Following a consonant -ice is added to the end
The v may changes into and f in some words.
once
twice
thrice
fourice
fifice (fivice)
sixice
sevence
eightice
nince
tence
elevence
twelfice (twelvice)
thirteence
...
twentice
twenty-once
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
forice, fifrice, srice, serence, irice, nirice, terice, eleven times, twelve times, thirteen times...
The above are fanciful, creative, and most likely wrong. No words ever existed for more than thrice. There may be people who disagree, or who can supply sources for the above. See links.
Actually, the following are in ordinal structure:
once
twice
thrice
quadruple or fourfold
quintuple or fivefold
sextuple or sixfold
septuple or sevenfold
octuple or eightfold
ninefold
etc

Perhaps, for our modern era ...
"once, twice, thrice, fource, fivece"

What is the meaning of the prefix bi in the word biscuit?
The prefix is bis- and comes from the French 'biscuit' meaning 'to be cooked twice' (bis-cuit). The original biscuit was a slice of bread that was baked (or toasted) another time (because the bread was already baked before being cut into slices). It's the same as the German word 'zwieback' (twice baked) or the Dutch word 'beschuit' (obviously derived from the French word)The actual prefix is "bis", an Italian prefix meaning "twice".
