Subject: ipsissima verba

The students of Pythagoras had the custom when pronouncing a truth or even
lying, of adding a confirmatory autos epha (note dialect) `he himself said',
meaning `I heard it from the horse's mouth (= Pythagoras)'. This led to the
Latin ipse dixit, ipsa verba (I am quoting verbatim), ipsissima verba (I am
really quoting verbatim). There are a large number of these confirmatory
floscules (German = Bekraeftigungsformel) found in languages, e.g. Jack
Paar's `I kid you not', but this one has a history.

reply to Hammond. If Ginsberg selects, he selects only Ginsberg buddies and suc
h. He is only for his period and pals. That is long known everywhere. Kessler
