How does {to'e rinka} become "in opposition to"? Wouldn't
that be {fapro}?

My first guess for {to'e rinka} would be {se rinka},
the opposite of the cause is the effect. 

Saying that "despite" is the opposite of "because" is like
saying that "all" is the opposite of "some", or that
"and" is the opposite of "or", or that "must" is the opposite
of "may". They are in some kind of opposition (they are duals)
but I wouldn't use {to'e} for it.
