3© = Forcing to game. If West only wants to invite to 4©, he starts with 3© rather
than the cuebid of 2§. 3© should be agreed on as giving partner the option to play 3NT
with a 5-3 ©-fit.

4© = Signoff, based on singleton in North's first suit, rather than on moderate
opening strength. If South has a singelton in clubs instead, he should make an advanced
cuebid of 4§. This call can never be ambiguous, for with any above-average length in
clubs, South would earlier have rebid 2§, rather than 2¨.

2§ = Stayman relay, which needs an alert from South, since North may not have a 4-card
major.
3¨ = Natural, and forcing to game.
