I agree that the Tolkien did not really come to grips with Orc Origins, but hey, he didn't really come to grips with the origins of the Sun, Moon and Stars either. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What does seem clear to me is that Tolkien wanted Orcs to originate with Men instead of Elves. Chris Tolkien makes pretty much that exact statement in Morgoth's Ring.
