QUERY: Lolita's subjectivity (and solipsise/ solipsism)

Body
[EDNOTE. Jansy probably meant to say "solipsize," in the American spelling. Nevertheless, it may be useful to discuss further -- further than Appel does, for example -- what it means for HH to say that "Lolita had been safely solipsized" (AnL p. 60). -- SES]

I'm no Philologist, but I can look up words. I did learn that the word solipsism is from the Latin---solus, meaning alone and ipse meaning self. I found solipsism, noun, solipsist, noun, solipsistic, adj and solipsistically, adv, but alas, no solipsises. I want to get the full benefit of your post and not mis-interpret your meaning. JS
>S.Stringer-HyeSuellen,
Thank you for expressing your "disagreement" about a trend of conclusions that solipsises Lolita.
