Anyone have a link to a detailed description of these? Haven't really ran into anything of my liking.

glean - destinations are attached to multi-access media, for which MAC rewrite string are unavailable.
for example, router directly connected to a subnet with multiple hosts. so it maintains a prefix for the subnet instead of individual host prefixes - the subnet prefix pointed to a glean adj. when packets arrived the adjacency table is gleaned for the specific prefix.
punt - special handling when CEF is not supported for the packets -

The book called "Cisco Express Forwarding" is your best bet but this DOC isn't too bad How to Choose the Best Router Switching Path for Your Network - Cisco
As a bit of a side note, CEF glean adjacencies are also critical to how DMVPN Phase 2 works to enable spoke-to-spoke comms. The router purposely marks the entry in the FIB as glean so that when the first packet needs to be sent spoke-to-spoke, it triggers an NHRP resolution request to map the public IP address to the internal IP address that advertised the route. -
