From Old Norse mjǫlk, mjolk, from Proto-Germanic *meluks, cognate with Danish mælk, Swedish mjölk, English milk. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂melǵ-.
Note the lack of i-mutation in the genitive (from *melukiz). Although the form would suggest a mutated **mýlkur, -jó- is not the original vowel (from *-eu-, as in þjóð), but a product of a double vowel change, first fracture: meluk- > mjǫlk, and then lengthening: o/ǫ > ó before lk. Also, the ability of the -iz to effect an i-mutation on the first vowel is reduced by the intermediate -u-.

svangur (comparative svengri or svangari, superlative svengstur or svangastur)

svengri (comparative)
svangari (comparative)
svengstur (superlative)
svangastur (superlative)

From Old Norse svangr (“slender, slim, thin”), from Proto-Germanic *swangaz (“thin, slim”). The original meaning in Germanic was probably 'curved inwards', discernible from the derived Old Norse svangi (“flank, groin”), i.e., 'the sides of the abdomen which curve inwards slightly'. Within Icelandic the meaning developed from 'thin' to 'feeling hungry'. Cognates are Faroese svangur (“hungry”), Danish svang (“thin, famished”), Norwegian svang (“hungry”), dialectal Swedish svånger (“thin, hungry, empty”), Middle Swedish svanger (“slender, emaciated, very thin”), Middle High German swanger (“flexible, slender”).
Further origin unsure, perhaps related to Old Irish seng (“narrow, thin”). Not related to Danish svanger, Norwegian svanger, Dutch zwanger, and German schwanger (“pregnant”).
