The onset of what is now termed Old Dalcurian saw a greater divide between that of Thaduracian and Proto-Dalcurian. The main introductions were:
- vowel shift and introduction of
long vowels
- palatialisation
- lenition-'th'>'t'
- introduction of new verb tenses and endings: identifiable preterite with telecity prefix ga (which later came to denote the simple past), perfective present with haabra
- spelling changes: long vowels were doubled
- gradual loss of modality inflection and introduction of auxiliaries
