Answer 1

drowned-died from being in the water

Liniment-loition or oil

I think you mean cestpool-man made pool of water for ittigation or planting

Gray Backs-mules

Grittle-stove or open fire!!!

Answer 2

Drowned means to die in water; you can't breathe water.
Liniment is something to put on your muscles to make them stop aching; Absorbine, Jr., is an example.
Caspool? Maybe cesspool? That's the place your toilet flushes to, where the material sits until the bacteria have a chance to eat it up. (You know what material!)
Gray Backs: probably refers to Confederate soldiers, who wore gray uniforms. Frankly, I don't remember the reference.
Grittle? Maybe griddle? The hot iron thing you cook on -- you know, the large flat iron surface in a restaurant, or a smaller one you can put over a fire, on which you can cook burgers or pancakes (sometimes called griddle cakes) or whatever.

Been some 30 years since I read Of Mice and Men.

Answer 3

I would say for drowned, it means the lungs filled with water
or some other substance.

Lininment is a medicated liquid rubbed on the skin

Answer 4

Drowned seems obvious. Past tense of to drown. Linament is something that is rubbed on muscles to loosen them and relieve pain. I think you mean cesspool, and this is where sewage goes. Gray backs I think means elderly, old like gray hair etc. And last if you mean gristle it is the stuff in meat, kind of like fat but harder and very chewy.
