I first noticed the use of "is come" instead of "has come" from reading and watching the Lord of the Rings. (At least, I think it's some sort of substitute for "has come"). Here are some quotes from the trilogy that show this:

"The Dead awaken; for the hour is come for the oathbreakers;"
(The Passing of the Grey Company, Book Five).

"Now is the hour come, Riders of the Mark, sons of Eorl!"
(The Ride of the Rohirrim, Book Five).

"Lights went out in house and hamlet ... Ever there rose the same cry in the gathering night: 'The King of the Dead! The King of the Dead is come upon us!' "
(The Passing of the Grey Company)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Does "is come" mean "has come"? If so, I wonder why Tolkein wrote in this way!

Also, I noticed that this is strangely similar to the French Vandertramp verbs - with auxiliary verb être, "to be", instead of avoir, "to have", when used in the past tense.

Thanks a ton if you can explain!

Can you translate "I can't eat foods containing wheat or dairy. They make me very sick." And for extra credit, and my appreciation, how about the words "gluten" and "casein"? These are specific protiens I can't eat in the wheat or dairy. Thanks! Going to Mexico and have to be armed with this important sentence!!

I'm a South African living in the UK and have often has English people ask me if I'm from Australia. I've never been to Austalia, so please tell me, do you think South Africans sound Australian?

OK, so "hot" obviously has another meaning (the opposite of cold). Please ignore this meaning! I'm asking if spicy food can always be described as hot.
