Dan D mate it's Query, surely? As to the main question there is QWERTY as in in the first five letters on the top letter bar of your keyboard which is now an official word. And a Muslim women's garment often called a BURKA is actually a BURQA. Although many of the words that do exist with Q not followed by U are accepted as part of the modern English Language, many have the origins in Hebrew, Arabic, Urdu and French.

There is al Qaeda, the terrorist group. However I think this may be regarded as a proper noun.

Qat is the most common one, but there are other more obscure ones.

Qoph and qiblah are two that I can think of. I think there are about twenty in all.
