So I thought of this word today... then though "I'd bet a million people have already thoght of it because its so obvious". So I googled... and found only 5 or 6 references out of 150 gazillion WWW sites. Sooooooo.... lets make it mainstream!
a combining form meaning “first,” “foremost,” “earliest form of,” used in the formation of compound words (protomartyr; protolithic; protoplasm), specialized in chemical terminology to denote the first of a series of compounds, or the one containing the minimum amount of an element.

a combining form meaning “writing,” used in the formation of compound words: graphomotor.
Also, especially before a vowel, graph-.
Compare -graph, -graphic, -graphy.

So, is a "protographer" the earliest form of writer/carver? ;)
