Not surprised that Lojban has the same concept. I think Loglan does too. Weird thing. I
originally devised the ci-ca-cu triad, and then wondered what I might do with 'co' and 'ce.'
So I decided that they'd have an analagous function, referring to the previous utterance and
the following utterance. (As I said before, 'ce' proved not very useful with that function, so it
now is a resumptive pronoun.) Only after I did all that did I discover that Glosa had long
before picked 'co' for the same meaning and with the same pronunciation.
