In the example of the Cmi6/9 chord it also can be viewed as a Ebma7 b5 or Ebma7 #11 chord. I ended up with this by omitting the root and the b7 of Cmi7.

Both the (Eb) blll ma7 and the (Ab) bVl ma7 can be used as a sub for the Tonic chord C mi. To help you with chord substitution use the following chart below.
