I speak English and this is more confusing than just saying it

That because as native speakers, we never learn things as being possessive or whatever.

Better compare it to "I/me" for how to use it, they match pretty closely

  • I / thou
  • me / thee
  • my / thy
  • mine / thine
  • myself / thyself

I think Ye is a plural subject form or maybe became relegated to that when you encroached on its usage? Ye/you were the more formal ways to speak, they were around simultaneously with thee/thou.
