Christian Texts and History • μνῆμα, μνάομαι and μιμνήσκω

I've add μνῆμα (mnéma) to the main table in the OP

Apparently μνῆμα comes from μνάομαι (mnáomai) +‎ -μα (-ma)

μνῆμα (mnéma) : neuter noun (genitive μνήμᾶτος); third declension

1. remembrance, record or memorial of a person or thing
2. mound or building in honour of the dead
3. memorial dedicated to a god

• eg., λυγρᾶς μνήματα Τροίας, of the sufferings of the Greeks, S.Aj.1210 (lyr.)

So, μνάομαι (mnáomai) is another verb pertaining to remembering or 'mindfulness'

1. to be mindful; to remember; to come or to have in remembrance
2. to woo, to court

As is μιμνήσκω / μιμνῄσκω (mimnēskō/mimnēiskō)

1. (active voice)
   1. (transitive) to remind [with accusative ‘someone’ or genitive ‘of something’], to put in mind
   2. (transitive) to recall something to memory, to make famous
2. (middle and passive voices)
   1. (transitive) to call to mind, to remember [with genitive or (less commonly) with accusative ‘something, someone’]
      1. to remember [with infinitive ‘that ...’]
      2. (after Homer) to remember [with participle ‘doing’]
      3. (transitive) to bear in mind, to not forget
   2. (transitive) to remember aloud, to mention [with genitive ‘something’]
   3. (transitive) to give heed to [with genitive ‘someone’]
