==Early life and education==
Sgutsitn was born in the city of [...] in Fyxám to an [[Verse:Tricin/Anøvr|Anøvrian]] immigrant family of Adutsib descent as the second of three children. Before they moved to Fyxám, her father, Avnín Sgutsitn (adapted from [[Sfətsiv]] ''ʔAfəgwadh Scütsił''), was chair of mathematics in the University of Flian who composed in his spare time. Her mother, Navað Salis, was a classical ''ŋams'' player and music teacher. Her mother's brother, Mugiv Ytxuðe, was a ''sewøðr'' player.

A precocious tomboy, Rewhd was taught mathematics and ''davr'' by her parents. She started auditing music and math classes before she was 5. She was to a large extent self-taught in the boarding school math and music curriculum, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries, music to listen to, and instruments to learn to play. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in the University of Olltal in math at age 10 by taking an entrance exam. She was an exceptionally gifted student and graduated in mathematics with honors at age 16.
 
Around graduation, Sgutsitn began to study with the composer Cosga Siva. At the encouragement of Siva, in fT 2255 she participated in the composition competition ''Farca Dalóor'', with ''[some cantata or mini-opera]'' and won.
 
After winning ''Farca Dalóor'' Sgutsitn returned to the University of Olltal as a doctoral student in mathematics. Under the supervision of Zydóo Lig, Sgutsitn was awarded a doctorate for her dissertation ''Zeta Functions of Algebraic Curves over Finite Fields'' (fT 2259), where she proved the [[w:Weil conjectures|Weil conjectures]] for the case of algebraic curves.


==Later life==
Around graduation, Þwhgad began to study with composers. In fT 2255 he participated in the regional composition competition ''Farca Cøøve'' and won first prize.
After receiving her doctorate, Sgutsitn abandoned research mathematics. She taught mathematics in schools, while she corresponded with a number of composers and musicians to exchange ideas about music. These discussions would inspire her to further develop the music theory at that time.

==Current life and work==
Þwhgad is currently a freelance composer. His main interest is imagining music in fictional cultures. Among the general public he is fairly well-known for his film and video game scores. Þwhgad's most iconic works include his (the sci-fi musical drama).


In fT 2300 (aged 63), Sgutsitn retired and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Sŋooron until she died of a stroke in fT 2316 (aged 80).
Þwhgad runs a blog on music and composition.

==Discography==
Sgutsitn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 200 works in total. Many of her works are chamber music and songs. Sgutsitn often takes inspiration from folk music.

Sgutsitn's works often use regular temperaments, in addition to works that use just intonation as in traditional Etalocian music. She also authored a classic textbook on regular temperaments, though she herself did not invent the notion.
