1/5     I ran across the word "ipseity" in a poem, and I'm wondering about
        the root ipse, which the oed defines as, "truly himself..." for you
        latin enthusiasts, does this word have an included gender, or is
        the oed just defaulting to male?  Is there an equivalent female or
        gender neutral pronoun?
        \_ please. no poem reading here.. unless it's to solve
        a quest in MUD or something.
        \_ nm!  google says, "ipsa  ipsum," although it doesn't have the
           english "borrow word" connotation of ipse.
