The last two columns take this idea further. The bolded note is <u>raised</u> to make a min6 chord that resolves down a 4th to the new tonic. This IVm6 - I cadence is simply the [[Kite Guitar Exercises and Techniques#Rotations aka Inversions|rotation]] of V7 - I. Note that both cadences take you to the same 4 keys. Also, the chord that results from raising the note can be interpreted as a dom9noR chord, in which case it resolves the same as if the note had been lowered. In other words, instead of being lowered to become the root, the note is raised to become the ninth. For example, Ebm6 can resolve to Bb, but if heard as Ab9noR, it can resolve to Db. Likewise, the Ab7 chord can be interpreted as Ebm6,11no5, and thus can resolve to Bb. (This is perhaps more plausible in 41-equal than in 12-equal.) In all these cadences, the C-Gb dim 5th resolves inward to a 3rd.

Let's extend this idea to 41-equal. A plain dim7 chord is possible, but awkward on the Kite guitar. So we will focus on the ^dim7 and vdim7 chords. Neither of these are symmetrical, so 40 more tables would be needed! How much to raise/lower by? The bolded note has another chord note a tritone above it. The bolded note is either lowered to make that interval a perfect 5th, or raised to make a perfect 4th.
