casus/tempus Explanation: 'Time' in the sense of 'occasion' is usually rendered by 'casus' or 'tempus'. But far more often, one employs temporal adverbs, e.g.: semel = once bis = twice ter = three times quater = four times quinquies = five times sexies = six times septies = seven times octies = eight times novies = eight times decies = ten times undecies = eleven times duodecies = twelve times, etc. |
