Etymology
From Proto-West Germanic *melkan, from Proto-Germanic *melkaną. Related to Old Frisian melka, Old Saxon *melkan, Old Dutch *melkan, Old High German melkan. Note that this is the original form, as *e and *i before *l did not break unless *h followed: thus the alternative form meolcan has its diphthong by analogy with the noun meolc, which has its diphthong from back umlaut. See: Proto-Germanic '
*melkaną', Old High German 'melkan'.
