ANST - Re: Thee/Thine

Sir Lyonel Oliver Grace wrote, in gracious response to my comment about
"thee" as an Anglo/Saxon's perfomrance error:

Know offhand where I can get one? I haven't been able to find it in any
of the local bookstores, so I've been relying on some online resources
(which appear to be quite good, for example,
http://www.kami.demon.co.uk/gesithas/OEsteps/pronounc.html)  My take is
that <{th}a>, the second person pronoun, is prounounced "thuh," like the
Modern English definite article.

Anyway, thank you very much for your time and response.
