Thanks for the reply.

So, I've got the question wrong, haven't I? Should it be the other way round?

But what I've meant is putting "arc

AnonymousBut what I've meant is putting "arching" instead of "arcing" in the cited sentence.

An arch is a architectural form. Arch as a verb means to form an arch-like shape - as in "The cat arched its back."
To arc is to trace a curved path - as in "Meteors arced across the sky. Dianna's arrow arced toward its target."

"substituted with" is quite a confusing combination, in my opinion. You can ask "Can 'arcing' be replaced by 'arching' ...?"

Thanks. I see.

GPY"substituted with" is quite a confusing combination

Thanks for the remark.

Indeed, it's confusing and the confusion is magnified by my native-tongue structures which, unwittingly, I'm using instead of idiomatic English ones. I'm trying to eliminate it but somewhat it is hard to overcome.
