Abhidhamma appears to say nama can arise without rupa in dependent origination, as follows:
> PTS cs 243 With ignorance as condition there is a (volitional)
> process, with a (volitional) process as condition: consciousness, with
> consciousness as condition: **mind (nama)**, with mind as condition: the sixth
> sense sphere, with the sixth sense sphere as condition: contact, with
> contact as condition: feeling, with feeling as condition: craving,
> with craving as condition: attachment, with attachment as condition:
> continuation, with continuation as condition: birth, with birth as
> condition: ageing, death, and so there is an origination of this whole
> mass of suffering.

The Abidhamma also appears to say nama is the four mental aggregates as follows:
> Herein, what is ‘mind?’ (nama)
>
> Except for contact, (it is) the feeling constituent, the perception
> constituent, the (volitional) processes constituent, the consciousness
> constituent: this is said to be ‘mind’.

Are there any Suttas supporting the above ideas?
