Translate:
grochle: spit, to spit, phlegm, clear one’s throat noisily and wetly.
The clearing of his throat to bring up phlegm and spitting lumpy lumps of spit as he creeps about the tunnel always gives plenty of warning Gollum is about.
Good job he does not know that we can climb up out of the water to hide amongst the stalactites, cracks and fissures on the ceiling.
If you recall however, before he turned up there was not nearly as much green phosphorescence about the place. We can see.
Who would have thought green slimy mucus would have its own usefulness.
