"melcan" meaning in Old English

See melcan in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈmel.kɑn/, [ˈmeɫ.kɑn]
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.
