II. The possessive adjective or pronoun of the second person sing.: Belonging to thee.
In OE. an adj. þín, þíne, þín, with strong inflexions, remains of which survived in Early ME., as sing. masc. acc. þínne (þíne), dat. þínum (-an, -en, -e), gen. þínes; f. nom. þíne, gen. and dat. þínre (þire, þine); pl. nom., acc. þíne, dat. þínum (-on, -en, -e), gen. þínra (-re, þire). The final n of þīn began to be dropped before a cons. a 1200, leaving þī, later written þy, thy, q.v. At last thīn, thine, was restricted to the position in which the possessive is not followed by a n. Cf. mine.
2. Attributively (= Ger. dein, F. ton). Now arch. or poet. before a vowel or h, or when following the n.: otherwise superseded by thy.
