Let q be a positive integer. Consider an infinite word (omega =w_0w_1w_2cdots ) over an alphabet of cardinality q. A finite word u is called an arithmetic factor of (omega ) if (u=w_cw_{c+d}w_{c+2d}cdots w_{c+(|u|-1)d}) for some choice of positive integers c and d. We call c the initial number and d the difference of u. For each such u we define its arithmetic index by (lceil log _q d
ceil ) where d is the least positive integer such that u occurs in (omega ) as an arithmetic factor with difference d. In this paper we study the rate of growth of the arithmetic index of arithmetic factors of a generalization of the Thue-Morse word defined over an alphabet of prime cardinality. More precisely, we obtain upper and lower bounds for the maximum value of the arithmetic index in (omega ) among all its arithmetic factors of length n.
