“Qualia” lacks a functional definition, but there is no reason why it should have one, since functionalism in all things in not apriori necessary truth. Indeed, the existence of stubbornly non-functional thingies could be taken as a disproof of functionalism ,if you have a taste for basing theories on evidence.
Are you saying it has a non-functional definition? What might that be, and would it allow for zombies? If it doesn’t have a definition, how is it semantically meaningful?

It has a standard definition which you can look up in standard references works.
It’s unreasonable to expect a definition to answer every possible question by itself.
