Old English used to not just have a second person plural but a dual - there was a pronoun for just talking to two people. Pronouns are fun, we need some more.
That’s so funny. The closest thing I’ve seen to that is a specific second person plural that usually refers to a specific subset of the listeners: y’uns.
“Y’all” is a perfect second person plural.

What was it? The dual pronoun?
git - which I think is pronounced “yit.”
