* note: the Wikipedia chart on "[[wikipedia:Ye_(pronoun)|Personal Pronouns in Middle English]]" distinguishes between: | |||
** thy as "possessive determiner" | |||
*** possessive determiner = indicates possession or belonging | |||
**** ''I like your shoes'' | |||
** and "thine" as "possessive pronoun | |||
*** ''Yours are as good as mine'' | |||
** here, we keep "thine" as possessive determiner if the noun it possesses begins with a vowel, so, | |||
*** "thy" precedes consonant | |||
**** ''thy kingdom'' | |||
*** "thine" precedes a noun | |||
**** ''thine apple'' | |||
** "thine" is otherwise, as per Wikipedia, a 2nd person singular possessive pronoun | |||
*** ''it is yours'' = ''it is thine'' | |||
