No. It's a cmavo. rafsi are the combining forms of words used to make lujvo.

We do. The name of Q is "kybu".

Yes, it is possible to say/write Lojban bridi in the such a way as to act
like it's an SOV language. Or an OSV one, or a VSO one, or any other word
order. But Lojban doesn't have /verbs/, so it would only be /appearing/ to
be such-it wouldn't actually be.
