3§ = 4+ suit, occasionally 3+ suit, good 17+ hcp, forcing game.
3ª = 4th Suit Forcing, seeking 3-card ©-support or ª-stopper.
3NT = ª-stopper, and most likely a 2254-hand.

North's spades are not good enough to take action with. This hand clearly proves the
point.

2§ = Stayman relay, used to find a fit in one of the majors, or to invite to 3NT next.
An immediate response of 2NT would show a 6+ ¨-suit.
2© = 4- or 5-card ©-suit, or 4© and 4ª.
North takes only 8 tricks in the reds, unless East screws up terribly, by leading §A and not
shifting to spades.
