أَحَقُّ more entitled
A comparative-shaped word, 'more entitled', serving as the predicate describing 'you'; no 'are' is needed, since placing it after the pronoun states the comparison directly. It carries the 'more...' force in its very form.

أَحَقُّ more deserving
A comparative adjective 'more entitled/worthier', built on a fixed pattern Arabic uses for 'more X'; it has no separate word for 'more', the pattern itself carries it. Here it describes the speaker's greater claim to the milk. The single word does the job of English 'more deserving'.
وَأَحَقُّ الأَشْيَاءُ بِالضَّبْطِ وَالْقَهْرِ
And the things most deserving of restraint and coercion:
وَأَحَقُّ And most deserving
Two pieces fuse: wa- ('and') linking to the prior thought, and a comparative-superlative adjective 'most deserving'. The adjective bundles 'most' into its shape with no separate word. It heads the predicate, naming what things most call for restraint.
