_______________________________________________

I do not understand why it schould be a borrowing from German? There
are other Slavic (Serbian) words derived from the root *melg. For
instance, "mlak" (lukewarm, tepid; natural temperature of milk),
"mlaz" (spurt, jet; spurt of milk from the cow's udder); "milkiti"
(fondle; touch lightly an udder of cow during milking or stroke a
woman's breast; gliding movement); "muzha" (milking; in fact mulga >
mulzha > muzha; from the same basis as Latin "emulgere" (to milk out,
milk is a classic example of an emulsion); Milka - a personal female
name; "mljackati" (champ; eat or chew loudly as a suckling do);
adj."mljecav" (gooey); "milostiv" (benign, merciful; benigne behavior
of a suckling); "militi" (crawling as baby does); "moliti" (beg,
plead, solicit)...?

It seems that nasal "m" (Sskr.OUM - holy voice; Serb. UM) always
designates the human mind?

Cordially,
