If I understand your question correctly, yeah I guess. Some examples would be:
- vorona (ворона), is feminine and means 'a crow'; you can amputate the -a and it becomes voron (ворон), and means 'a raven';
- волосина is feminine and means 'a single hair'; you can neuter (and gather) it into волосся, and now it means 'hair' (i.e. some number of single hairs, easily up to the whole head or more);
- but you also have etymologically unrelated pairs, like how рушник (rushnyk) is masculine and means towel and рушниця (rushnytsya) is feminine and means shotgun (or at least longarm).
