Yes, but "za'o" can't be used in Lojban for both that word and its structural class because Lojban has only one definition per word.
In particular, how is this answered in Lojban?
ma selma'o zo za'o
(I hope that's correct Lojban?)
And what are the other word classes?
In order to talk about cmavo belonging to a particular selmaho in Lojban, you can either:
• use {lo cmavo be lo se cmavo be zo za'o} (= "the cmavo of the same selmaho as {za'o}), or {lo selma'o dunli be zo za'o} (= "the things equal to {za'o} in their selmaho");
• or use the experimenetal cmavo {ma'oi}, which belongs to the ZO selmaho (thus, same grammatical behavior as {zo}): {lo cmavo be ma'oi za'o} = "the cmavo of selmaho ZAhO".
Here's a nice mindmap that classifies selmaho:
