Note
A pronoun and its verb fused into one word, with the apostrophe standing in for the dropped ha-. The 've can be the perfect auxiliary followed by a past participle (you've been working, you've missed it) or the full verb of possession. The pronoun inside it can address one person or many, since you long ago replaced both thee and ye.
