(I assume -{Du'} based on the precedent of {DeSqIv}, but then {neb} is sort of a counterexample.)
I'll get the longer answer later, but basically, Okrand said that "generally" bodypart words that are used for non-bodypart things still take the bodypart suffix, as in DeSqIv on a pot and Ho'Du' on a wheel. There are very few exceptions where the meaning or the connection to the body has been lost, so one uses -mey, such as nebmey on rockets. -- Lieven L.
