As well as "you", of course, we also have the archaic singular form "thou". We also have "situ" (as in: "in situ") and also "fugu", a species of pufferfish served (illegaly in most cases) as a delicacy in Japan -- if not prepared perfectly correctly, it can be poisonous. It's also known as "takifugu".
