I've never heard of these words and I've been using English since the 15th century. I hate to be a Grammar Viking about it but people don't seem able to correctly use thou, thine, thy, and thee nowadays.
If this carries on, proper usage will die out and the differentiation of possessive cases and the expansiveness of our language will be lost. In a dystopian future, perhaps a foodstuff will be created with bull meat and the chymosination of milk into caseinates and glycomacropeptides on some kind of bready substance and a cat will say it "can haz cheezburger" and everyone will laugh, knowing - all the while - that it's the end of language as we know it!
Do you, ya YOU, know the difference?

Who still uses Thine, Thy, Thee? That is like bible scripture. Thee shall not convent. Most people don't even talk that way anymore.
