Can ipse refer to a thing (not a person), as a demonstrative pronoun, not as an adjective attached to a noun ;
and even in oblique cases, or as the object of prepositions ?
I couldn’t find such sample in Lewis & Short.
In it there were only a few samples of ipsum quod (meaning : for the reason that … , in respect of …)
d. would be what you want me to see.
But in the samples, ipses are all referring to persons.
So I’m still unsure if ipse can be a pronoun of a thing. I can see examples like nunc ipsum in that page, though.
And there were no sample of the usage with prepositions.
So I’m unsure.
Tell me,
if the privious sentence had a word like ager,
can I use ipse and make such a sentence as nocte per ipsum ambulabam, ipsum referring to ager ?
