Why Nāma is missing from Five Aggregates (pañca khandha) in Buddhism?

The Five Aggregates (pañca khandha) of ‘grasping at a self’ (ego) are:
rūpa (Form)
vedanā (feeling)
sañña (perception)
saṅkhāra (formation/volition)
viññāṇa (consciousness)

As with arūpa(near-form-less), rūpa (form) and Kāma (sense) worlds,
nāma, rūpa (form) & vedanā (feeling) should come in line.

Why nāma is missing from Five Aggregates?
 

Additional Details

@Fake Genius,
In Tipitaka, where do you find vedanā, sañña, saṅkhāra, viññāṇa categorized as Nāma?

[Fake Genius]
apart from rupa, all other four aggregates are namma.
namma is mind - the abstract side.

so there are two: namma-rupa
