The monomorphy of "thy" is disputable, though. Certainly there are no
_productive_ morphemes, but it's the same possessive -y added to "my"
and the same second-person "th" in "thou" and "thine".
[It's a bit pedantic maybe, but the rule usually given by people who want
to say that /D/ is not a phoneme is that it seems to occur instead of /T/
at certain morpheme boundaries.)
