Proto-Dalcurian saw the following changes and feature introductions:
- aspirated plosives and dentals
- introduction of the spirant'th' represented by Þ
- vowel allophony: syllable stress introduced allophones such as 'o' as in 'do', 'a' as in 'day' and 'father'
- many loan words from germanic and celtic origin
- vowel combinations became dipthongs, for example, the combination 'ei' in falacheild became like the 'ey' in 'they'
- ch lost its ligature and became somewhat 'gutteral' (this was later replaced with the letter 'j' and the gutteral 'ch' sound was denoted by 'ø')
