Miranei birthdate

A friend asked me what her birth date would look like in Miranei. I could show her the day and month, but the year was difficult as I didn't have the math chops to convert such a large number into octal.

Well I found a nifty, free, decimal to octal converter:  Click here for the octal converter. But as it turns out, it's completely useless. See note below*.

Her birth date is July 8, 1982. In America, we always put the month first, so the seven was easy. 

Remember, in octal, there is no number 8. So her day of birth became 10, but in Miranei it's 00. * again, see note below. 

And lastly, with the help of the nifty converter, 1982 became 3676, but in Miranei looks like 6763. 

The numbers always stream from right to left, like the letters and words. So if you look at the date and read it left to right like English, it reads: 6763, 00, 7. But to an elf of the Fifth Age, she would read and translate it as: 7, 8, 1982.

* in Miranei 0 is used in the anteceding subsets. For example, 10, 11, 12, 13, these are groups of ten, right? But in Miranei 0 is used as a subset. so we have 01, 02, 03, 04, and so on. But reading from right to left, they look like: 10, 20, 30, 40 and so on.

So... follow me now... the numbers count as follows: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 01, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 02, 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 03, 13, 23, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73, 04, 14, 24, 34, 44, 54, 64, 74, 05, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 06, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 66, 76, 07, 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 77, 000, 100 (our 74), 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 010, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610, 710, 020, 120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620, 720, 030, 130, 230, 330(our 100), 430, 530, 630, 730, 040, 140, 240, 340, 440, 540, 640, 740, 050, 150, 250, 350, 450, 550, 650, 750, 060, 160, 260, 360, 460, 560, 660, 760, 070, 170, 270, 370, 470, 570, 670, 770, 001, 101(our 138), and so...

so, the 1982 converted to 3676 is probably wrong in the Miranei script above, because it's converted in octal without using zero as a subset. And this is only because the numbers stream from left to right in the converter, and all the rest of the normal, human world. And in Miranei the numbers stream from right to left.

Ok, nobody count above seven in Miranei from now on...
