Humeral: piece of cloth worn over the shoulders by the priest while giving eucharistic benediction with the monstrance.
Pluvial: "choir-cape"
pyx : small receptacle for the consecrated host to be used for to carry the Body of Christ to the sick.

Ciborium- Latin,drinking cup. A covered receptacle for holding the consecrated wafers of the Eucharist.
Humural-did you mean humeral?-Latin-Humeral veil -name given to silk white rectangular cloth about 3 ft. long & 1 1/2 ft. wide,usually fringed while a cross with the name Jesus adorns the center. The humeral veil is worn to cover the back & shoulders -hence it's name, and has 2 ends that hang down front. It was used by St. Charles Borremeo for processions of the Blessed Sacrament and for carrying Holy Viaticum to the sick. worn by priests or bishops in processions of the Blessed sacrament,in giving Benedictions, in carrying the Host to it's repository on Holy Thursday & being brought back to the altar on Good Friday.
pluvial- Latin -Catholic liturgical vestments
Pyx- Latin - General sense to all vessels used to contain the Eucharist. Common use is a small gold or silver vessel to be carried to the sick.
