Explanation:

1. For the first question, Philip Johnston suggested using the Navajo language for code - talking because it was a language that few people besides the Navajo could understand, providing a high level of security for messages.
2. For the second question, in the context of the text about the Navajo language being an oral - only language with dialects, sounds, pitch changes, and syntax, "complexity" means difficulties as these elements make the language hard to learn.
