#### Usage notes

* The surname Debes only inflects to indicate grammatical case when it occurs alone. When it occurs with a declinable given name, only the given name inflects, with Debes indeclinable. For example, alone Debes has the genitive Debesis, but the phrase Lūcās Debes has the genitive Lūcae Debes, not *Lūcae Debesis.
