nominative/accusative neuter singular.
What is the root word of IPSA?
ipse, ipsa, ipsum — Himself, herself, itself; the very/actual one. iter — Journey, road, path.
Is ipse a reflexive pronoun?
So it is like very intensified "He" in this sentence (a subject to viderat). + ipse is not used reflexively in Latin, it's just an intensifier to demonstrative/semi-personal pronouns as "is, ea, id" (not used together, of course)...
