Alright...I'm pretty sure that the Uruk-hai were a blend of the wild men from the hills/men of Dunland, but I can't find the quote right now...and I'm almost absolutely sure that golbins and orcs were the same, just two different names for the same creature (one point is that in the Hobbit, Bilbo calls his captors goblins, but in LOTR, they were called orcs)
Quote:
"Wouldn't an orc have suited it better?"
...so I really have no idea where "orcs and goblin-men" came from...
