From Middle High German mëlken, from Old High German melchan, from Proto-West Germanic *melkan, from Proto-Germanic *melkaną, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂melǵ-.
The consonantism -lk- is regular High German. The difference between melken and Milch is due to the fact that the latter used to have a short vowel after -l- (Old High German miluh). Compare Dutch melken, English milk, Danish malke, Norwegian mjølke.
