Jack liked to lie  languidly on the landscape while looking at the livestock.

You weren't being languid when it came time to posting this - 6 "L's" great job.

"M" is mumble

Ennis tends to mumble his words, sometimes never moving his upper lip, but this just adds to his emotional distance.

"Q" is queue

The sheep were corraled, and as the queue of animals went through the gate; the Basque tallyman tallied them and measured how effective Jack and Ennis had been in protecting the herd. 

The Basque word for sheep is ardi.

"R" is rippling

In the early scenes, we are treated to a shot of the water rippling in the stream. Could have used a few shots of rippling muscles, too.

Ennis was so poor that he had to put the stub of his cigarette into his pocket and save it for later.
