How about shuffle?
No, rifle is a long range firearm. But I'll add the missing "f" for Eowiodith unadrieniel, to make it riffle, so she(?) gets the Emerald (lime) Wooly Gem. 
opps, i knew it looked wrong. thx grondmaster!
I thought I posted a new word to guess yesterday, but it wasn't there today, so here it is:
What word means "a structure erected around or by the side of any open space to prevent passage in or out"

Could it perhaps be an arc?
Ummm...Barrier?
How about door?
Is it obstruction?
Gate?
How about a fence Grondy?
Terrijayne's got it with fence and she also now has a orange Wooly Gem.
What word means: "to speak in a low indistinct voice"

Might that be to murmur?
Close, right first letter, but not the word I've got in mind.
Could it be to mumble?
No, but that is also a good M word and it also is the correct length as is Murmur, which also had the right ending letter. 
Is it to mutter?
You got it Rue auburn and a frosty blue Wooly Gem.
What word means: "a harbor; a port; a bay, recess, or inlet of the sea, or the mouth of a river which affords good anchorage and a safe station for ships
