Thine (&thlig_;&ī;n), pron. & a. [OE. thin, AS. ð&ī;n, originally gen. of ðu, ð&ū;, thou; akin to G. dein thine, Icel. þinn, possessive pron., þ&ī;n, gen. of þ&ū; thou, Goth. þeins, possessive pron., þeina, gen. of þu 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 A form of the possessive case of the pronoun thou, now superseded in common discourse by your, the possessive of you, but maintaining a place in solemn discourse, in poetry, and in the usual language of the Friends, or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]

&hand_; 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.
