а "your" обозначал "ваш/ваше/ваша/ваши"
В какой-то момент в истории, мы перестали использовать слово "thou" а слово "you" стало обазначать и "ты", и "вы." Теперь слова "thou/thy" встречаются только в старых или религиозных книгах.

Q:
Como é que se diz isto em Inglês (RU)? thy or your??
A:
“Thy” is archaic and used in old texts, such as in the Bible, or old sayings EXCEPT that in the northern counties of England a small proportion of older people may still use it daily in ordinary conversation. Sadly dialects and strong local accents are fast diminishing within the modern society, with greater numbers moving away from their native regions and the younger generation enjoying education at college where conformity in the way they speak is desirable.
Most people would now use “thy” for impact, eg comic effect. “Your” is standard for singular, plural and irrespective of whom you are addressing.
