Will someone please clarify the exact meaning of 'wy'?
I know that 'oni' = they (masc), and 'one' = they (fem).

In some dialects, "wy" is still sometimes used in reference to a single person, usually addressing a mature man or woman. This usage is fading away but it can still be heard used by older people.
