2ª = Muiderberg weak-2, i.e., 5-card ª-suit, 4+ minor, and 5-10 hcp.
Dbl = For takeout. South is a little too strong to overcall 3© right away.
3§ = 4+ suit, 8-10 hcp. North bids Lebensohl 2NT with less.
3© = Hand too strong for an initial overcall.
3ª = Forcing game, asking for more info.
Dbl = Demanding ª-lead.
4¨ = Introducing his second suit, which is unlikely to be 5+, for South failed to use Michaels Cuebid and Leaping Michaels.
