Does origami have manyfold practitioners?
Well, you have to differentiate here, which makes the answer problematic at certain points. I wished I had a smooth answer for you.

I hope you're not confusing "manyfold" with "manifold". That's a different joke to mine.

Ideally, you get curvature singularities at the corners I think.

Still problematic. I mean, mathematically a zerofold is still a manyfold, but is a sheet of paper already an origami?

Reminds me on how we count here: ##1,2,## more, many, many more.

By coincidence, OTOH also has only one t.

Depends. On þe oþer, þe oþer hand has no Ts.

"Two" has just one "t", and just one of each of its letters in general.

"Two" has one vowel, but "one" has two.
The iterated vowel-counting function ends in a loop between one and two for every starting number.
