We do. The name of Q is "kybu".
I meant more distinctive names, as per the example I mentioned for Arabic ج
I don't know what you mean by distinctive. Each name is associated with exactly one thing. .uibu, for example, is the name of ":)". You can't use .uibu to refer to anything else.
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.
I know Lojban's word is virtually unconstrained (or really, haven't reached that level yet). But I meant if it could act as a real SOV language, like Latin; without place tags or swithcers... eg. {zo'e zo'e zo'e rupnu} instead of {zo'e rupnu zo'e zo'e} or maybe {zo'e zo'e zo'e cu rupnu}?
The sumti in a bridi, other than the first, can appear either before or after the selbri.
{lo mlatu cu kalte lo cipni lonu kelci}, {lo mlatu lo cipni cu kalte lonu kelci}, and {lo mlatu lo cipni lonu kelci cu kalte} are all the same bridi. The convention is for only the first to be before the selbri, likely because the sooner the listener hears the selbri, the sooner he knows what the sumti relations are.
{lo mlatu lo cipni lonu kelci cu klama} is a completely different bridi, but no one listening would know that until the very last word is said.
