Quotation
λέγει δὲ καὶ ἐν τῇ γνώμῃ πλεονάζειν τὸ γ, ὡς ἀπὸ τοῦ νοῶ νοήσω ‹νοήμη› νώμη καὶ γνώμη.
Translation (En)
He says that in γνώμη "thought" too the [g] is added, as from νοῶ "to think" one derives νοήσω "I will think", ‹hence νοήμη›, νώμη and γνώμη.

Comment
Derivational etymology requiring the addition of a letter. The derivational chain implies two intermediary ghost-forms, νοήμη (here restored from other sources giving the same explanation, such as Orion) and νώμη. The former is given as the pre-form of νώμη with contraction, which itself is the last step before γνώμη. See also γιγνώσκω / νοέω
