"Mulk"

The language explosion continues. "Dada hold you" means "Pick me up, Dad, and hold me." "Seepy seepy" means "I want to pretend to fall asleep for a while." "Home" means "Let's go home," "We're almost home," "We're home," and "home." "Mama home" means "When will Mom be home?" and "Mom's home." "Hot" means any perceptible temperature differential, be it cold or warm. "Food" means "I'm hungry." "Mulk" means "milk." "Nee" means "Let's go watch the feature film about horses, 'Flicka,' " as well as "Hey, look, there's a horse by the side of the road." "Knee" means "My leg" (anywhere from ankle to hip).
