What is true of it

Cm7 is C, E♭, G and B♭ — 1, b3, 5 and b7 counted from C.

These are also the notes of E♭6/C and D♯6/C. Which name is right depends on what is underneath and what came before — the notes alone do not decide.

On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.
