People confuse polygamy with polygyny.

Polygamy is when one person can marry multiple people.

Polygyny is when one person can marry multiple women.

Polyandry is when one person can marry multiple men.

There's no specific word for when one person can marry multiple nonbinary people.

I remember school when the first kid played polyphonic ring signals... Was revolutionary! So much noise

Polyamory sounds close; if you presume that the other people would be allowed multiple marriages as well.
