Correct. Another example is "cakyrespa"; since "krespa" is a lujvo, "y" is 
needed in "cakyrespa". "cakremna" does not need "y" because "kremna" is not 
valid. "baklanme" is valid but "bakladru" breaks up, so if you mean cow milk, 
it's "bakyladru". This rule is called "tosmabru"; where that name came from 
I'm not sure, since "tos" isn't the rafsi of anything.
