Although I dont understand the relation of the question to the currently
discussed point

Thanks. My question is why show five spades if we already found a 4-4 heart fit.

Invitational with 5 spades is my preferred meaning. Playing this allows re-transfers after Jacoby transfers since all of the hands are covered.

Could you elaborate? How do you show an invitational 5-5 majors, for instance?

In my current set of treatments, I cannot. I don't know that its vital to be able to show this hand type.

I have to transfer and rebid 2N. The only structure that lets you invite and stay at the 2♥ is "Keri" and its ilk.

You're changing the rules of the game on me

If I'm playing re-transfers, I invite through 2♠...1N - 2♦ - 2♥ - 2♠. Note I can;t show a 4-5 invite playing this method.
