Short answer: By studying. But I suppose you want details. I'm writing a book "What You May Not Know about Jhana and Samadhi", containing what you want for samadhi, vipassana, samatha, jhana and nimitta. As for peta and vihara, I think it's quite easy to notice the difference between common usage now, which is based on commentaries, and the usage in the Suttas.
