Thanks for trying VP. I've had no luck at all despite searching the

Have you tried an unabridged dictionary? I have a suspicion that if you
do, you will find that "moebius" is an adjective and will not have a
plural form in English, but I am not sure.

Moebius (actually Möbius) is a proper name, the surname of the
discoverer of the Moebius strip, Augustus Ferdinand Möbius, a German
mathematician. The name should always start with a capital. The
English plural is Moebiuses (analogous with Joneses).

Not an adjective but a proper noun.
