East does not upgrade to 1NT, for he has too many secondary honors. West signs off in 4ª, because his suit is well playable opposite a
singleton.

2¨ = 5+ ¨-suit,
and 8-11 hcp, the so-called negative free bid.
2ª = Another type of non-forcing free bid. The
doubleton of hearts, 11 hcp, and favorable vulnerability warrant enough safety.
Dbl = Exactly 3-card ¨-support.
Rdb = Exactly 3-card ª-support.

1NT = One round force. South has one of many types of hands,
no 4+ ª-suit, and 5-11 hcp.
2§ = 2ª
would show a 6+ suit, so once again, opener is forced to rebid his cheapest 3-card minor.
