The Algonquian languages have something similar to what you have.  They
have a prefix which means "inverse", that is, they are assigned
oppositely.  To use one of your examples:

Man dog see = Dog man see = The man sees the dog

Now, to say "the dog sees the man", you could have a prefix meaning
inverse, thus:

Man dog inv-see = Dog man inv-see = The dog sees the man
