Question...?

elvenscout742 · 2005-07-18 11:07:07

Anyone know of an archaic second-person plural objective pronoun in English? Like an objective version of "ye" or a plural of "thee"?

"Ye" is the objective form of "you" as "thee" is the objective form of "thou". I think.

No, "ye" is the plural of "thou", making it subjective. "Thee" is the objective form of "thou". I was wondering if anyone knew of a plural of "thee", though.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree. Do a search for "to ye" "unto ye" etc. It's used in objective form.
