SELF
(as a definite pronoun) ipse. ☞ When “self” is combined with a personalpronoun (myself himself etc.) observe carefully whether it be as an active (subject) or a passive (object); in the former case ipse is put in the nominative or in the accusative (only when connected with an accusative and infinitive); in the latter ipse is in the case of the personal pronoun whatever it may be; e.g. se ipsum irridet (he laughs at himself and at no other; he laughs at himself alone); se ipse irridet (he laughs at himself and no other laughs at him; he alone laughs at himself); aliquis sibi ipsi inimicus est (is an enemy to himself). “Self” is also denoted by the appendage of met to the personal pronouns ego tu sui and their cases; sometimes with the addition of ipse in the same case as the pronoun; e.g. myself memet memet ipsum (☞ but never memet ipse). Of my (your him or it) self ipse; mea (tua sua) sponte (without external impulse or cause): ultro (of free will voluntarily): per se (by one’s self): a se (self-originating): sine magistro (without a teacher): his other self alter idem for nominative; for another case se etc. alterum: Pompey said I should be his other self me alterum se fore: a friend is like one’s other self tamquam alter idem: like your other self tamquam ipse tu; sometimes tamquam exemplar mei tui sui etc. may be used; e.g. he who has a friend looks upon him as his other self is tamquam exemplar aliquod intuetur sui: the door opened of itself valvae se ipsae aperuerunt: to recover himself ad se redire: for itself (= for its own sake) propter se or sese (e.g. amicitia propter se expetenda); natura (e.g. honestum - natura est laudabili Cic.). ☞ With genitive sui = themselves the sing. gerund is used; e.g. sui colligendi (not colligendorum) causa. Many passive verbs have a purely reflexive meaning; as falli (to deceive one’s self); cruciari (to torment one’s self); Vid: Krug. § 471.
(As an intensive) ipse: vel: adeo; e.g. virtue itself is despised virtus ipsa contemnitur: the enemy themselves could not refrain from tears vel hostes lacrimis temperare non potuerunt: you yourself are angry with me tu adeo mihi succenses. Vid: also HIMSELF
