Why is this GIF on this thread. I don’t get the connection.
cross post mistake...
You are misquoting her.
In that episode, both actors - Leonard Nimoy and Celia Lovsky - attempt to speak a partly antiquated form of English, to somehow suggest that they are actually communicating with each other in some kind of ritualized or "church" Vulcan. But they fail, and make consistent mistakes - chiefly in not properly declining the intimate/singular form of the First Person Plural/Formal Pronoun "you" (which is "thou" in the Nominative Case, "thee" in the Accusative and Dative Cases, and "thy" or "thine" in the Possessive). Additionally, no one bothers to properly decline the associated verbs (e.g., "Thou art," "Thou hast.")
She thus should have asked: "Art thou Vulcan, or art thou human?"
These are things that anyone familiar with the King James version of the Bible already knows, and would have pointed out during the script reading.
