What are "Enumerate subkeys" and "Notify" permissions in Registry?

"Enumerate subkeys" is pretty much self-explanatory – it allows listing the names of all subkeys inside the given key, using the RegEnumKey function. (A "key" in Windows Registry terminology is like a folder.) So if you have this permission on HKLM\Software, then you're allowed to see the names below it – HKLM\Software\Adobe, HKLM\Software\Microsoft, etc.
"Notify" is described in @Vignesh4303's linked documentation as "request change notifications for registry keys or subkeys". That is, your programs are allowed to use RegNotifyChangeKeyValue and related functions, and be notified by Windows when another program makes any changes to that part of the Registry.
