Ipsi...is that Latin?
Yes, it is. It's a pronoun that means 'the very one; he himself; the same'. Shows up in the phrase ipse dixit 'he himself said it'.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
and ipso facto!
I'll add that ipse is the emphatic pronoun not the reflexive pronoun since that's not often taught in English.
I wash myself (reflexive)
I wash the dog myself (emphatic)
