About 側(そば), 側(がわ), and 隣(となり), as "next to"

I commented on a question on Hinative.com, like the following. Please let me know if you found anything on it.

─ question ──
> ‎そば(側) と かわ(側) と 隣り はどう違いますか?
説明が難しい場合は、例文を教えてください。https://hinative.com/en-US/questions/18239260
── ──

そば(soba) mainly shows like "close to," "near by."
 ex.) あなた の そば に か が います(あなたのそばに蚊がいます)
   └ = A mosquito is flying there, close to you.

With がわ(gawa), I can feel something opposite to it, or some border of a group including it.
 ex.) かいだん の みぎ がわ を あるいて ください(階段の右側をあるいてください)
   └ = Please walk on the right side of the steps. (not on the left side <- opposite [ right vs left ] )

となり(tonari) usually means like mixed "next to" with "aside of."
 ex.) あなた の となり は あいて いますか?(あなたの隣は空いていますか?)
   └ = Is the seat next to your right/left taken?

another::

つぎ(次/Tsughi) means "next," especially in a list, so it is sometimes used as "next to" as well.
 ex.) テニス の つぎ に サッカー が 好きです。(テニスの次にサッカーが好きです)
   └ = Next to tennis, I like playing soccer best. {1st: tennis; 2nd: soccer}
 ex.) わたし は かれ の つぎ です。(私が彼の次です)
   └ = I'm the next from him. { …; he; me; …}


そば(soba) は主に、"close to" とか "near by" のような「近い」の印象があります。

 ex.) あなた の そば に か が います(あなたのそばに蚊がいます)
   └ = A mosquito is flying there, close to you.
 ( あなたの近くを蚊が飛んでますよ )


がわ(gawa) を使う時は、私は何か相対する(あい たいする)モノや、それの属するグループの境界線を感じと思います。
 ex.) かいだん の みぎ がわ を あるいて ください(階段の右側をあるいてください)
   └ = Please walk on the right side of the steps. (not on the left side <- opposite [ right vs left ] )
  ( 階段の右側を歩いてください(左側ではない / 左側とは、右側に対して反対側 )


となり(tonari) は、"next to"(〜のつぎ) と "aside of"(〜のわき) とを混ぜたような感じです。

 ex.) あなた の となり は あいて いますか?(あなたの隣は空いていますか?)
   └ = Is the seat next to your right/left taken?
 ( あなたの 右の次の/左の次の の席は、誰かが使用していますか? ≒ 右隣/左隣 の席は 空いていますか? )


ほかには::

つぎ(次/Tsughi) は、特にリストの中などで、"next" を意味するので、この言葉も "next to" の感じで使われる事があると思います。

 ex.) テニス の つぎ に サッカー が 好きです。(テニスの次にサッカーが好きです)
   └ = Next to tennis, I like playing soccer best. {1st: tennis; 2nd: soccer}

 ex.) わたし は かれ の つぎ です。(私が彼の次です)
   └ = I'm the next from him. { …; he; me; …}
