YAKIN
a bomb exploding somewhere near
the time for his retirement was drawing near
a near perfect fit
I near fell out of the chair
the parking lot near the sawmill
near the end of the war
she gave a tiny smile, brave but near tears
a shape near to the original
a big house in the near distance
the conflict is unlikely to be resolved in the near future
walking in these shoes is the nearest thing to floating on air
the near right-hand end window of the trailer
soon the cab would be nearing State Street
