      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.
