Ord - Tolkien's use of the term related to Blake's[edit]

I am surprised to see that this article only mentions Tolkien at the end. And this is only in discussing the World of Tiers series by Philip Jose Farmer. It seems that the concept of "orc" in the public mind would often lead people from thinking Blake's orcs to Tolkien's. I hope that somebody can add some text to address the relationship between Blake's and Tolkien's orcs. Pete unseth (talk) 16:49, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
