: Minor ii-7 moving to I-6 In traditional hymn writing, can I move from a ii-7 in root position to the I chord in first inversion in the middle of my hymn, then continue to the V as a half cadence?

It's not common. I have seen ii7 to I63 to ii65 to V. Returning to I63 would make the tonic a neighbor chord which doesn't cause problems. The ii7 to I63 to ii65 makes the tonic a passing chord. No problems if the voice leading is correct.
