Idea

Consider a pointed span 𝒮 := (S , f , g) from A to B. The opposite pointed span of 𝒮 := (S , f , g) is the pointed span (S , g , f) from B to A. In other words, the opposite of a pointed span

       f       g
  A <----- S -----> B

is the pointed span

       g       f
  B <----- S -----> A.
