It can either be an abbreviation of "thousand", or it c.an be an older, more respectful version of "you"

  • It is not a more respectful, older version on "you"; that was "ye". It's actually the singular form of you and it was at one time deemed disrespectful. i.e. what you would say to your buddy just as the French "tu" is used.
