Now that I've gone through it again in detail to respond to Jorge, I can't
find the discrepancy again.  Either you fixed it somewhere along the line,
or I was confused myself.

It might help to extend that "table" to something like this:

   ledu'u CAUSE rinka ledu'u EFFECT             rinka is claimed
   EFFECT ri'a ledu'u CAUSE                     EFFECT is claimed
   CAUSE seri'a ledu'u EFFECT                   CAUSE is claimed
   EFFECT .iri'abo CAUSE                        all 3 are claimed
   ri'agi CAUSE gi EFFECT                       ??all 3 are claimed??

and put this in with the section on modals, as well as with the comparison
between tenses and modals.  (But that's just my learning style -- I really
like charts and tables -- so take it with a grain of salt.)
