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-.

:
Margar tegundir kaffibrauðs ... fínasta Scotch Whisky, hið eina í bænum sem enginn fær af hina leiðu timbrmenn.
Many types of bakery products ... the finest Scotch Whiskey, the only one in town that does not result in the dreaded hangover.
The literal meaning of ‘carpenter’, however, is far older.
