It's one word in my version, too.

I wonder if it couldn't have been a name/nickname.
It's possible, but odd that it only appears in the dialogue. We can't assuse that just because it isn't mentioned outside of the dialogue it's not a name, but I would think that Tolkien would at least make some other reference to another Orc that he took the time to name... *shrug* But that's just me.
