The voiceless stops '''p t k ts tś''' were weakly aspirated like Japanese voiceless stops.

Little is known about the laryngeals '''*Q, *X'''. Some conjectured realizations are:
*'''Q''' = /q/
*'''X''' = some kind of devoiced back consonant, /h/, /x/ or /ç/ or /q/
The laryngeals may have developed allophones in different environments, leading to conditioned reflexes in daughter lnaguages.

There was an honorific suffix ''-is''/''-s''. The semantic shift from honorific to feminine was an areal feature of Talman Lakovic languages.


Nouns had no morphological case; genitive noun phrases were formed by concatenation.

Naengic developed a new associative plural suffix ''-am'', from PLak ''päm'' 'that; those' (the ''-am'' in Modern Windermere plural pronouns ''łănam'', ''ănam'').
Naengic developed a new associative plural suffix ''-am'', from PLak ''päm'' 'that; those (distal demonstrative)' (the ''-am'' in Modern Windermere plural pronouns ''łănam'', ''ănam'').
====Case markers====
Case markers came before the noun. There are known to be four case particles.
 
* ''ŋa'' = direct case (the noun in focus); became complementizer in Naeng
* ''Hit'' = indirect case
* ''maw'' = genitive
* ''xu'' = lative (became direct object in Archaic Naeng)

Verbs inflected for triggers, TAM, pluractionality, evidentiality, and gender agreement. Present-day Lakovic languages preserve these inflections to varying levels.

====Gender====
*wa- = honorific
====TAM====
====TAM====
The following verb affixes marked lexical aspect and voice/transitivity/denominality.
*unmarked or li- = imperfective
*unmarked or li- = imperfective
*-H = perfective
*-H = perfective

**ongFa- = X for oneself, X in advance
**ongFa- = X for oneself, X in advance


====Triggers====
* {{angbr|əp}}
Triggers (giving the noun in the direct case specific semantic roles) were marked by adding infixes to the verbal grade of the root. Proto-Lakovic had eight triggers:
* {{angbr|əŋ}}
*'''agent''' trigger: unmarked?
* {{angbr|it}}
*'''patient''' trigger: {{angbr|əp}}
* {{angbr|əm/nəm}}
*'''destination''' trigger: {{angbr|əŋ}}
* {{angbr|əg}}
*'''locative''' trigger: {{angbr|it}}
* {{angbr|əkəm}}
*'''ablative/cause''' trigger: {{angbr|əm/nəm}}
* {{angbr|lis}}
*'''instrument''' trigger:  {{angbr|əg}}
*'''benefactive''' trigger: {{angbr|əkəm}}
*'''comitative''' trigger: {{angbr|lis}}
 
In most branches (Ashanic, Tseeric, Tumhanic, Pfiunic, Häskä, Tsrovesh), the original trigger system became a set of derivational affixes, much like binyanim (originally marking voice) in Semitic languages. Txapoallian Lakovic reinterpreted the trigger system into a more head-marking, polysynthetic system. Only some modern Eta-Lakovic languages retain a trigger system today.
