This picture below is actually what the original meaning of the word Lexigram was.
Linda used the word for what was already considered advanced Anagramming (which was not anagramming but Lexigramming) which is ancient form of serious word coding used in divination and secret messages and so forth, and for literary and general entertainment..
The symbols above are lexigrams from a bonobo called kanzi's keyboard.
quote:
A lexigram is a symbol that represents a word but is not necessarily indicative of the object referenced by the word. Lexigrams were notably used by the Georgia State University Language Research center to communicate with bonobos and chimpanzees. Researchers and primates were able to communicate using lexigram boards made by up to three panels of a total 384 keys.
