Usage notes

• The word is sometimes used without a definite article as in English: Libanon, in Libanon. In this case, the genitive is always Libanons, for example Libanons Hauptstadt (“Lebanon's capital”).
• More commonly, however, the definite article is used with the name: der Libanon, im Libanon. In this case, the genitive usually is des Libanon, although des Libanons is also correct: die Hauptstadt des Libanon(s) (“the capital of Lebanon”).
