The only similar word that pops into my head
is the word "simplex" (from mathematics), whose
plural is "simplices", at least in the mathematics
community.  (www.m-w.com offers "simplexes",
"simplices", or "simplicia"--but no "simplicis".)

The only terms of the form Dan Howarth described
that I can find in a dictionary are "duplex",
"triplex", and "multiplex", but m-w is silent
on the possibility of plurals.

I hope this doesn't perplex!
