​Tattoo Check: Firstborn Daughter's Birth Date (31/07/2026) in Proto-Germanic (Elder Futhark)

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a tattoo to commemorate the birth date of my firstborn daughter: July 31, 2026 (31.7.2026). I want to write it in Elder Futhark using reconstructed Proto-Germanic words for the numbers.

Since this is going to be permanent on my skin, I would really appreciate it if someone could double-check my language reconstruction and runic transliteration before I finalize the design with the artist.

Here is what I have so far:

  1. Day 31 (þrijiz tigiwiz einz)

ᚦᚱᛁᛃᛁᛉ : ᛏᛁᚷᛁᚹᛁᛉ : ᛖᛁᚾᛉ

  1. Month 7 (sebun)

ᛋᛖᛒᚢᚾ

  1. Year 2026 (twai þūsundijōz twaintigiwiz sehs)

ᛏᚹᚨᛁ : ᚦᚢᛋᚢᚾᛞᛁᛃᛟᛉ : ᛏᚹᚨᛁᚾᛏᛁᚷᛁᚹᛁᛉ : ᛋᛖᚻᛋ

My questions:

Are the Proto-Germanic reconstructions for the cardinal numbers grammatically accurate for this context?

Is the Elder Futhark transliteration correct, including the use of ᛞ (dagaz) in þūsundijōz and ᛉ (algiz) for terminal -z?

Are there any stylistic or historical nuances I should consider for a tattoo layout?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Landing at Pisa airport at 7:55, can I realistically make another flight at 8:55?

Title. I had an error booking non refundable tickets with Ryanair (Prague-Pisa, Pisa-Palma de Mallorca), we have no checked baggage but if we don't make the connecting flight we are basically screwed (no more flights to Palma de Mallorca that day). Is it realistically possible? Or do I just take my losses for the flight tickets and book a different ones?

I am not looking for prediction, just honest opinions.

Thanks in advance
