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-.

Isaiah 40 (Icelandic, English)

A voice says, "Cry out." And I said, "What shall I cry?" "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."

Heyr, einhver segir: "Kalla þú!" Og ég svara: "Hvað skal ég kalla?" "Allt hold er gras og allur yndisleikur þess sem blóm vallarins. Grasið visnar, blómin fölna, þegar Drottinn andar á þau. Sannlega, mennirnir eru gras. Grasið visnar, blómin fölna, en orð Guðs vors stendur stöðugt eilíflega."
