According to my attempts for an Albaniana Inherited Lexicon:

*H2ewi-, colored to *H2awi- `bird'. 1. Alb. <vidë> `dove, pigeon',
probably from extended form *H2awi-d-a:. Also with diminutive
suffix –ëz <vid-ëz> (cf. Lat. avis `bird'). 2. *o:w-yo > voe >
ve `egĝ (cf. Lat. o:vum, Gr. o:ion, Sl. jaja, ON egg, OI
avyaka `id.').

*demel- `worm'. Alb. <dhemje> `caterpillar, larva', also
<vemje> `id.'. dhemizë `magot; blowfly', probably from *dho:melyeH2
> dhemjë, later used as singularized plural <dhemje>: Epidaur.
Demeleas. (Pokorny demel- 201.)

I will add to my previous derivation maybe s-mobile form *s-demel-
yeH2, that fits better.
