Substatative Pronoun: IPSE
What is a substatative pronoun? Does this simply mean that
IPSE replaced the noun or is there something more to it?
Something like 'They themselves will fight to the death," instead of
"The men will fight to the death."
Thanks.

I've never heard the term substantive pronoun... seems kind of redundant. "Substantive" is usually used to describe a word that is not a noun but is functioning as one. IPSE is the intensive pronoun and it usually functions like an adjective, meaning it stands next to a noun and agrees with it in case, number, gender. IPSE can, however, stand alone if it's antecedent is in the verb.. for instance: id ipse timeo. - "I myself fear it."

"Substantive" means "having substance" or "denoting a substance", so "ego", "tu", "sui" are substantive pronouns and "meus ", "ipse", "noster" are pronoun adjectives.
"Substantiam habens" vel "substantiam denotans" significat "substantivum" dictio, ut "ego", "tu", "sui". Sunt adjectivi pronomines itá: "meus", "ipse", noster".

Here ipse is not a substantive pronoun, it is an adjectival pronoun (an intensive adjectival pronoun),—as an adjective, it qualifies a noun. In your sentence, it qualifies the substantive pronoun "we".
Hic "substantivum pronomen" ipse non est, sed pronomen adjectivum (et exemplum pronominis intentionis). Ut adjectivum, nomini adicitur. In tuâ sententiâ, pronomini substantivo "we" anglicè adicitur.

I checked my textbook and it turns out i was wrong. SUI is a
substantative pronoun. If this is the case then in the following
sentence:
He doesn't understand himself
IS NON INTELLIGENT SE
then if 'SE' is a substatative pronoun then that is because it is
replacing the actual persons name, like as if it were originally
written:
John doesn't undertand himself
Now 'John' is a substatative pronoun of 'SE' and was replaced.
Is this correct?
Thanks.

When you wrote:

Ità est, Canorcaerulecarotâclavoque.
Are you saying that 'SE' is a substantative pronoun because it is indeed
replacing the noun - the guys name - such as 'John'
What you are saying is that the sentence should really be written
to be correct:
IS NON SE INTELLIGIT
He doesnt understand himself
If this is true than is 'SE' a substatative pronoun because it replaced
the persons true name, such as 'John'
Thanks.
