Gonnoi: a city of Perrhaibia, named from Gouneus the descendant of Kyphos. So says Homer. The citizen Gounios and Gounia the woman and the land. It is also written without the 'u'. The Perrhaibians, being Aiolians, double the consonants and call themselves Perrhaiboi and the city Gonnos with two 'nn'; for the Aiolians the knees 'gonna'. The ethnonym also Gonatas, which is irregular because of the accent, and Gonnios.
