> What are veljvo and rafci?

A veljvo is the compound phrase that a compound word is made from. For 
instance, the veljvo of "larlermorna" is "larcu lerfu morna". In Lojban one 
would say "lu larcu lerfu morna li'u veljvo fo zo larlermorna", since "vel-" 
(which is the rafsi of "ve") switches x1 and x4.

A rafsi is a combining form, also called a bound morpheme. "lar-" is a rafsi 
of "larcu".

A fu'ivla is a borrowed word. Often "fu'ivla" is used to refer to the Lojban 
word forms used for borrowed words, even if the "word" being discussed (such 
as "agbagba", one of several wordoids made out of a few different letters) is 
meaningless. A word of fu'ivla form whose source is something other than a 
foreign language is called a zi'evla, e.g. "vonpaso", which is from Lojban 
number words.
