Thine \Thine\ ([th][imac]n), pron. & a. [OE. thin, AS.
[eth][imac]n, originally gen. of [eth]u, [eth][=u], thou;
akin to G. dein thine, Icel. [thorn]inn, possessive pron.,
[thorn][imac]n, gen. of [thorn][=u] thou, Goth. [thorn]eins,
possessive pron., [thorn]eina, gen. of [thorn]u thou. See
{Thou}, and cf. {Thy}.]
A form of the possessive case of the pronoun thou, now
superseded in common discourse by your, the possessive of
you, but maintaining a place in solemn discourse, in poetry,
and in the usual language of the Friends, or Quakers.
[1913 Webster]

Note: In the old style, thine was commonly shortened to thi
(thy) when used attributively before words beginning
with a consonant; now, thy is used also before vowels.
Thine is often used absolutely, the thing possessed
being understood.

lord to a servant, of an equal to an equal, and
expresses also companionship, love, permission,
defiance, scorn, threatening: whilst ye is the language
of a servant to a lord, and of compliment, and further
expresses honor, submission, or entreaty." --Skeat.

in familiar discourse, though most of them corruptly
say thee instead of thou.
