The updim7 and downdim7 chords are formed from stacked 6/5's and 7/6's, alternating to make 7/5's. The 7ths are rather dissonant. The updim7 chord has an innate Ruyoyo comma which equates its ^d7 = 42/25 to a M6 = 27/16. The downdim7 chord has an innate [[Mynucumic chords|Thuzozogu comma]] which equates vd7 = 49/30 with ~6 = 13/8. Thus its odd-limit and prime-limit are both 13.

In 12-edo, the dim7 chord is symmetrical, and is its own homonym. But in 41-edo, it has homonyms. The most plausible one has the 3rd becoming the new root to make a 6th chord. This is a chord with a minor 3rd, a dim 5th and a major 6th. Such a chord in 12edo is identical to a dim7 chord, but in 41edo it isn't. Extrapolating from the terms maj6 and min6 gives us its name, a dim6 chord.

All these chords span 5 or 6 frets, and are quite a stretch. To avoid negative fret numbers, the chords start on the 6th fret.
