覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
thos は現代標準英語では通常使われない古風な形で、文脈上 those「それら」に相当すると捉えます。that の複数形 those と結び付け、古い印刷物や方言資料で見かける綴りとして覚えましょう。人名 Thomas の略記 Thos. もあるため、語末のピリオドや人名の文脈には注意が必要です。
Connect thos with modern those, the plural partner of that. In older or dialectal material, use the surrounding sentence to understand it as pointing to particular people or things, but write those in contemporary standard English. Also watch the context carefully: Thos. with a capital letter and a period has traditionally been used as an abbreviation of the personal name Thomas. The lowercase demonstrative form and the name abbreviation therefore look similar, but capitalization, punctuation, and the surrounding names or nouns usually reveal which one is intended.

thos の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 þās（それら）に由来し、指示代名詞 that/those と同根。ゲルマン祖語 *þat-（それ）から派生した。関連語: that, those。印欧祖語の指示詞が古英語を経て残った古風な形。
The demonstrative form thos is associated with the historical development of modern those. English demonstratives descend from Old English forms including þæt and plural þā, within a Germanic family of pointing words. Modern those developed through Middle English reshaping and analogy. The spelling thos is obsolete or nonstandard today and should be distinguished from capitalized Thos., a conventional historical abbreviation for the name Thomas.
