QUERY ON DEFINITION OF SPSS ABBREVIATIONS S, M and N in SPSS MANOVA/MANCOVA

ES-7
Dear SIRS/MR DAVID NICHOLS
 
I have difficulty in finding out what the abbrevations S, M and N in SPSS stand for.  The following (please scroll down) is my SPSS output on MANCOVA. N cannot stand for sample size since it is thirty one and the half.  Does S stand for standard deviation while M stands for arithmetic mean?  I read books by DR MARIJA J NORUSIS and surf the Internet as well but am not able to find the answers.
 
Please kindly tell me exactly the long form for S, M, and N as soon as it is oonvenient.
 
Many thanks and with best regards
ERIC SIM
