It's generally impossible to voice 7th chords in 1st, 2nd or 3rd inversion close voicings, because the 7th occurs on the same string as the 8ve. Instead voicings are named as close (root position, R 3 5 7), high-3 (3rd raised an 8ve) and low-5 (5th lowered an 8ve). A high-3 low-5 voicing (5 R 7 3) uses all 6 strings, thus is only sometimes possible. A high-3-7 voicing (R 5 3 7) requires 7 strings. Half-dim chords can alternatively be named as dim add-7 chords, e.g. the up-half-dim chord is C^dim,^7 or C^o,^7.

'''9ths are shown in parentheses'''. Adding a major 9th (ratio 9/4) to any of the first 4 tetrads increases the odd limit only slightly if at all. The up-7 chord is arguably improved by adding a 9th. The no3, no5 and no7 (i.e. add9) versions of the ^9 and v9 chords are all 9-odd-limit chords.
