In the qep'a' 24 definition, does "close" mean merely "near to", or does it
have an American English meaning which I as a British English speaker in

I am familiar with weather being described as "close" when the air is as
stuffy outdoors as indoors.
It means that something is a "close call". {tey yay} means the victory was
decided at the last minute or almost wasn't.
