So, if a new term has to be coined we might follow logical arguments.
----------
Sure.
There is an alternative possibility:
Since -gram- is Greek, another type of logic
would suggest that the prefix and the stem should
originate from the same language...
and with a word already existing, though not (perhaps)
yet with the additional meaning, it might make more
sense to follow an already existing logic than to
create a new one.
But: I'm not sure it really makes a lot of difference.
