substituend
A substitute; something that substitutes for another.
Each substituend SN, it seems, would amount to the same thing as its corresponding UN in SOME not very strained context.
A substituendum; something to be substituted or replaced.
[…]but since the substitute y is not treated like the substituend vowel, the option will not prevail.
Where it comes from
Borrowed from Latin substituendus; compare substituendum.
