Thy or Thine?

[Elckerlyc]

My archaic English is lacking. Is it 'Trust thy craft' or 'Trust thine craft'?

 

[The Judge]

Thy. It's the equivalent of "your", while "thine" is "yours" so it's "Thy will be done" but "This rose is thine."

 

[Wayne Mack]

Per my usual reference, thine is used preceding a vowel and thy for a consonant.

Both correct.

"Mine" is also used before vowels instead of "my."

 

[Elckerlyc]

Much appreciated! I suspected as much. But when doubt start creeping in...
The explanation is clear and helpful.

Now I start wondering if there might be connection with Why and Whine.

Also, in case you didn’t know already, ye/you are plural strictly speaking, though it came to be used more and more as a way to respectfully address individuals of higher station or strangers. Eventually addressing someone, other than an intimate acquaintance, as “thou” was seen as impertinent or condescending.

Yes, as in "Don't thee thou me".
