archaic language - 'Something is arrived' - is this use of a participle as an adjective acceptable?


As I know, intransitive verb can't be used in passive voice. Arrive is an intransitive verb. I wonder if "be +arrived" is still understandable and available?



Something will be arriving tomorrow. (arriving as progressive participle adjective)


Something is arrived. (arrived as participle adjective)



I know that it can't be passive voice, but the sentence structure is same as passive voice.


Are these two grammatically correct?
