          (grim)
That snow barely stuck an hour.  Besides
the sonofabitch is cutting us out of a
whole month's pay.  It ain't right!

"O" is oppositive

"P" is plunked

Clearly unhappy about Joe's decision to bring the sheep down, Ennis kicked at a clump of snow, cursed, and then plunked himself down on a tree stump to pout.

(c. 1970 - 1974)
96 EXT: WYOMING RANCH CORRAL: DAY:
ENNIS, still a ranch hand, is dehorning steers on a squally, snow-spitting day. Bloody, grim.

Once he roused himself from sleeping in the pup tent, Ennis went into his not-so-graceful snow dance, tamping down the fresh powder in the process.

"V" is vegetation

Aguirre knew it was useless to have sheep on a mountain trying to feed on vegetation that was buried by snow.

To Ennis's surprise upon awakening, he found the ground had been whitened with snow.
