Alas, no. "griselpei" should be a lujvo (though it doesn't seem to match the 
expected CV-sequence...). As such, being built from rafsi (combining forms), 
it doesn't have any shortened rafsi of its own.

So, "le budjo griselpei" ("the Buddist-ideology") is how you might refer to 
it, though "le budjo krici" is more likely to be understood, especially if 
"griselpei" is a malformed word.
