Use of thou for you_pl #17

I noticed that you seem to be using 'thou' for the plural second person pronoun, but in concepticon thou is meant to be you_sg.

There is a problem with 2nd person pronouns, but I do not really understand where you_pl comes from, as it is not in the data. Checking in cldf/parameters.csv shows that we have thou, which is correctly linked to Concepticon THOU, and we have you.SG, which should actually also be linked to THOU in concepticon, but it is incorrectly linked to YOU, which is pointing to the plural form.

Or do you want to say that the gloss thou in the original data should in fact be you (pl) or similar?
