Thomas E. Webb has written:

'The Irish question' -- subject(s): Home rule, Irish question

'Ipse dixit' -- subject(s): Home rule, Irish question

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".
