_________________________

Why word arise doesn/t fit in here?

[Torsten]

Arise is an intransitive verb, that means, you cannot use it with an object.
For example: The question arouse means the question came up itself.

Our new forum member raised an interesting question means that there was somebody (our new forum member) who brought up the question.
