Abm3CbM3Eb2F

Ab Minor 6, written Abm6, is built from Ab, Cb, Eb and F: the root, minor 3rd, 5th and 6th.

Its 3rd and 6th, Cb and F, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass.

In the progressions here, Abm6 is the i6 of the Minor ii-V-I Progression in Ab and the iv6 of the Minor Plagal Cadence in Eb.
