see the massive thread in the Silm Forum entitled 'Orcish Fear'
fear meaning Fea [spirit] = r [plural] it takes intoaccount JRRT's long and serious reservations he had about the idea of elves --> orcs.
The idea in general expressed by treebeard is considered to be his opinion and not definitive.
anyway it is covered in the thread exhaustively.
enjoy,
