You were right -- it is lo and ka combined.  cmavo are always a consonant
followed by one or two vowels, and maybe an apostrophe.  Gismu and lujvo
(the content words) always have pairs of adjacent consonants.  So when
you see something that doesn't fit that, it must be two or more
smaller words jammed together.
