* 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''
