    No, that’s incorrect.

    It’s “Thou are tall” or “Thou art tall

    Nominative   Oblique  Possessive 
    Thou         Thee     Thy/Thine* 
    I            Me       My/Mine*
    He           Him      His
    She          Her      Her/Hers**
    You          You      Your/Yours**
    

    * Used as an object (It is thine) or historically, when the following word started in the vowel (Thine eyes sparkle like diamonds, Mine ears ache)

    ** Used as an object (it is hers)

      Yes I too, read the Wikipedia entry for thou/thee.

      Are the Outlander writers just dumb or something then? Or is what you’re referring to (“thou art”) just a different context.

      Because in Outlander, the quakers clearly use “thee is” and not “thou art/are”.

      Because they use it as the second person singular.
