"Alter ipse Amicus" doesn't have to change, as long as the gender of the "self" is male.


"alter ipse soror" is fine if the "self" is male,

"A sister is another self (male speaker)."



If the "self" is a female, it changes to "altera ipsa soror",

"A sister is another self (female speaker.)"

Let it be itself is the English equivalent of 'sit ipse'. In the word by word translation, the verb 'sit' means 'let [he/she/it] be'. The reflexive 'ipse' means 'itself'.

Solus ipse is Latin for "only [one]self" and is the root of the English word "solipsism". Solus means "alone, by oneself", and ipse is an intensive pronoun that has varied meanings based on context, but in this case means "his/her/its self".

Amicus was created in 2001.

"Amicus meus" is Latin for "my friend."
