'normogram' for 'nomogram' and 'normological' for 'nomological'

‘Nomogram’ and ‘nomological’ both derive from ‘nomos,’ (Gr., ‘law’). ‘Nomological’ means ‘lawlike’ or ‘determinate,’ and a nomogram is a graphical device for calculating the (lawlike) dependency of a variable on one or more others. Norms are like laws, but the etymologies are distinct. ‘Normogram’ and ‘normological’ are non-standard. ‘Normogram’ is common (9000 ghits). ‘Normological is rare (300 ghits). Examples:
