Yes, I reversed the meaning during a sloppy edit. At first I composed:

    ba'a lenu CAUSE cu rinka lenu EFFECT

Because this was long and contained a nested abstraction, I searched 
the CLL book for a simplification using the ri'a modal. Following the 
pattern in Chapter 10, Example 23.7, on page 249, I rewrote:

    ba'a ri'agi CAUSE gi EFFECT

Before posting, I used a computer parser to check grammar, and 
discovered a mistake (*gi'e vi ri) elsewhere. After studying and 
fixing that, the computer's gloss suggested that CAUSE and EFFECT 
should be swapped. Having turned pages in CLL, I unwisely accepted 
the computer's interpretation and swapped bridis.

Thanks for the helpful tiki reference!
