Geoffrey Cubbage @geoffreycubbage.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Depends strongly on whether you believe “Moby” to be a noun or an adjective. The real-world basis for Moby Dick was a whale named Mocha Dick; Mocha of course can ALSO be either a noun or an adjective, but in Melville’s time would more likely have referred to the noun, so: Mobies Dick. 110
