Quote:
Synonyms: about, about to, all but, approximately, around, bordering on, close to, close upon, essentially, in effect, just about, most, much, near to, nigh, not quite, practically, pretty near, relatively, roughly, substantially, virtually, well-nigh
Perhaps "substantially" comes closest there.

Quote:
Synonyms: almost, approximately, close to, in general, more or less, near, nearly, roughly
Perhaps "roughly" comes closest there. Or "close to" or "nearly" might be better.

Perhaps "nearly" comes closest there.
