{orko} is glossed as "orc" or "orch" (the latter spelling is from Sindarin). 
{orka} means a kind of cetacean. The two words differ only in the final vowel, 
which means that if they are rafsi fu'ivla, then they collide. Are they rafsi 
fu'ivla? I don't remember about words that begin with a vowel, except that if 
a rafsi is put before them, an apostrophe is inserted as an interfix, e.g. 
{miky'enri}.

If they do collide, I suggest the following instead of {orko}:
{orxo}, from Sindarin;
{gorguni}, from Druadan.
