can a git commit have more than two parents?

  reading the git user manual, and i'm curious about the phrasing that
a commit might have more than one parent if that commit represents a
merge.  sure, it's obvious that it would have *two* parents, but why
doesn't the text just say that?  can there be *more* than two parents
for a commit operation?  or for any other operation?  thanks.
