Yes, according to the proposals for making fu'ivla rafsi (mine and Jorge's 
differ somewhat, and the details aren't settled yet). A few examples using my 
proposal:
cange (barn) + glauka (owl) = cagyglauka.
me'andi (henna) + skari (color) = me'andyska.
skalduna (Basque) + ninmu (woman) = can't do that, skalduna has no rafsi. {mi 
skaldunyni'u} is one word, {miskaldunyni'u}, meaning something like "woman 
whose eyes are equal to famous".
malgaci (Malagasy) + smani (monkey) != malgacysmani, that's mabla + gapci + 
smani. So {malgaci} has no rafsi.
mikri (micro) + enri (henry) = miky'enri (this wasn't my idea but I agree with 
it).
gurnrtefi (teff) + nanba (bread) = gurnrtefynanba. The y-hyphen is required 
even though it is not in lujvo made from gismu such as {kafnanba}.
