- o11c 3y agoNote that "you" is actually the object form, so the table is unfortunately not arranged the obvious way: single plural used in contexts of thou ye nominative (subject), vocative (preceded by the word "O"). For the singular, this implies that the relevant verb takes the "-[e]st" suffix. thee you all object forms (direct object, indirect object, object of preposition) thy your possessive determiner, before consonant sounds - thy will, thy God thine your possessive determiner, before vowel sounds (including 'h') - thine enemy, thine head thine yours possessive pronoun - not my will but thine, all that I have is thine (the last distinction used to by used for my/mine, and is still used for a/an)
