I'd add Sanskrit mrga = Avestic m&r&Ga, "large bird, bird of prey, giant mythical bird" < *mrgWos, akin to mermnos (<*mergWnos) and morphnos "kind of eagle" (<*morgW-snos?)

The simplest explanation for Latin and Germanic is:

smermnos (etc.)
smermlos (nasal dissimilation)
smerwlos (nasal dissimilation or regular/r_l? )
smerwlos smerlwos
smerlos smerlwos
smerlos merlwos
smerlos mirlwos
smerlos mi_lwos
smerlos mi:lwos

etc.
