comment

Although the singular forms still exist, the plural forms (Nom. Pl. debesis, etc.) are much more frequently used in all senses.

Cognates include Lithuanian debesis 'sky', Latgalian debess 'sky', Proto-Slavic *nebò 'sky, heaven' and Ancient Greek νέφος 'cloud'.

Viddle English 'firmament, heavens, sky; cloud; cloud of mist or vapour; fog, mist; (astrology) certain configuration of the heavens; (astronomy) sphere of the celestial realm; (physiology) cloudiness, smoky residue (for example, in urine)' from Old Norse ský 'cloud', from Proto-Germanic *skiwją 'cloud; sky', from *skiwô 'cloud; cloud cover, haze; sky' (whence Old English sċēo 'cloud' and Middle English skew 'air; sky; (rare) cloud'), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- 'to cover; to conceal, hide'. Compare Danish sky 'cloud' (grå skyer 'grey clouds')

Modern English welkin 'sky',  Middle English welken, welkne, wolkne 'cloud; sky; heavens; (astronomy) cosmic elementary, planetary, or celestial sphere; all the spheres beyond the elementary region, including the primum mobile', from Proto-West Germanic *wolkn 'cloud' (Anglo-Frisian Germanic), from Proto-Germanic *wulkaną 'cloud' [and other forms], from Proto-Indo-European *welg- 'damp; wet'.
