I'm at work currently, so I'll answer what I can off the top of my head (while at the same looking terribly busy and professional):

p.72 lor -- mild expletive contraction for "lord"
90 brakes, ride -- a "brake" is a thicket, a "ride" is a stretch of open land
91 greensward -- an area of grass
107 worriting -- colloquial for "worrying"
116 fell -- An upland stretch of open country; a moor
120 spinney -- a thorny thicket
128 dragonets -- a type of fish or a miniature dragon
141 wights -- you're kidding me. You need this defined?
157 damasked -- could either refer to elaborately designed cloth or the steel of a blade
181 pate -- top of the head
266 glede -- a bird of prey, like a kite
306 doughty -- courageous or brave; usually only Dwarves are doughty (really!)

408 thrawn -- crooked or misshapen; could also mean perverse or stubborn
417 wains -- wagons
421 rowans -- a rowan is a type of tree with red berries
