2ª = Weak jump overcall, i.e., 6+ suit, and 5-10 hcp.
Dbl = South must reopen. North is clearly not trapping, but South can't afford to pass out
with 18 hcp.
3¨ = South can't risk to see North playing 3§ in a 4-1 or 5-1 fit.

1NT = One round force, having on of many sorts of hands, and
5-11 hcp.
4ª = Hand too strong for an initial 3ª- or 4ª-opening, i.e. 7 or 8 spoades, and 11-13
hcp. South must downgrade a little for his questionable values in © and §. After a
stronger jump rebid of 3ª, North may still try for slam with say, 3ª, some singleton,
and 11 hcp.
More analysis to follow.
