80.64Level 39 — ambiguous dominant using upper triads

G bass.

RH:

A♭ major?

A♭-C-E♭ over G gives altered/sus-like colors but lacks B/F core.

Without guide tones, function is less explicit.

Then introduce:

B-F.

Suddenly:

G7alt becomes clear.

This demonstrates the importance of core identity notes.
