"word-hoard" - thought this might be a possible reference to Burroughs, but turns out to be an Old English word, which is more likely. Prynne certainly seems to have assembled his own word-hoard over time.
The Old English word wordhord (word-hoard) describes the collection of words and phrases that a poet may draw upon while crafting tales. Unlike a dictionary or other physical book, this stockpile of verses and vocabulary exists only in the poet’s mind. Faced with the daunting task of reciting hundreds of lines of poetry, a storyteller would have certainly benefited from a well-stocked “hoard” of words.
The word wordhord appears seven times in Old English literature (only in poetry) and is most commonly found alongside the verb onleac (unlocked).
St Andrew unlocks his wordhord…

St Andrew unlocks his wordhord…
…as does Christ disguised as a seafarer…
…as does the well-travelled poet Widsith.
The warrior Beowulf unlocks his word-hoard when communicating with Hrothgar’s watchman…
…as does Wisdom personified.

"breath-turn forest hut" - This is definitely a reference to Paul Celan's book Atemwende (breath-turn), a concept he also discusses in his Meridian speech.
Also, Prynne wrote an essay on huts, which talks about Martin Heidegger's hut in the forest where Celan visited him, and subsequently wrote one of his most famous poems about the meeting, Todtnauberg.
