The age old problem of having a key as a separate book is obviously separation. That problem is eliminated by having the key in the book. It just needs to be hidden somehow. It might be disguised, broken up and/or encoded. So while 'linguistic modification' of any sort may not be a great barrier to interpretation, that process cannot even start until the proper text segment(s) are recovered.
If the meaningful content is only a page or so, the hidden text could be all there is and the rest could all be filler.
Or the hidden text could provide instructions as to how to understand the body of the text. The trick then becomes the discovery of the hidden text. For this we must rely on the illustrations. The traditional interpretation of these illustrations has been much inhibited by a two-fold problem. The representative elements of these illustrations have been variously disguised. The traditions themselves, which supply the representative elements, have become irrelevant, gotten lost, or have otherwise been situated outside the realms of many prior VMs investigations.
An investigator, who does not know the nebuly line, cannot recognize the nebuly line in the VMs or properly interpret the particular connotations attached by traditional terminology that serve to promote a more expansive understanding of the VMs cosmic illustration, for example. And this is an example of something so well known to the VMs creator that it is innately suited to its purpose. Yet to say things like this have baffled so many investigators is ludicrous, as it has taken such a long time just to recognize the mere presence of this specific element and to reconnect the line pattern with its tradition.
IMO, the VMs was constructed to be self-contained. Whether that is still true is another question. Exterior sources will not provide the key, but may help to recognize any significant clues that the VMs contains, as that much is on going.
