No. You couldn't get Senatus Populusque Romanus (SPQR) out of ["Senatus",
"Populus Romanus"]. Of course, in Latin you can always use 'et' between
items. I suspect this problem would be unavoidable with Sanskrit which
similarly has a suffixed '-ca'. Any Sanskritists to advise? And yes, I
know the Google Sanskrit interface - http://www.google.com/intl/sa/ - still
needs a lot of work!
