1NT = Several sorts of hands, 5-11 hcp, one round force.
Dbl = Having no alternative with his 19 hcp.
2ª = Unaware of the strength and length of
spades at his right.
Pass = A second double is still for takeout,
not for penalties. South is most unlikely to have more than 6 hcp, so why push South into
a misfit contract?

4§ = 4+ ©-support,
singleton or void in clubs, 16+ hcp (Splinter).
4© = 'Bypassing' his second round control of
diamonds, because NS have at most 25 hcp between them, and the singleton of diamonds hits
North's first suit.

2¨ = Multi-colored, based on weak-2 in
spades. The suit is not good enough for a vulnerable opening of 3ª.
2© = Signoff opposite weak-2 in hearts,
possibly invitational opposite weak-2 in ª.
East has not the shape for a 2-way preemptive raise of 3©.
2NT = Two lower unbid suits. South could not overcall 2NT at his first turn, for that
would have shown a NT hand with 15-17 hcp. South must have opening strength for his
'unusual' 2NT, for it does not make sense to preempt over preempts, especially where the
enemy stops short of game.
5¨ = Bidding what you expect to make. Forget
about slam, for if South is strong, he will not pass over East's signoff.
