Have you considered that perhaps it was just one author spread over many years? Just thinking that if it is a constructed language that the author may have sat down and wrote part of the book, went off to other things and came back to it say 10 years later. The language may have evolved into something slightly different over those years which would explain a good bit.
BTW, pleasure to finally get to pick the brain of a legend. Thanks.
