Sgutsis was born in the city of Hirvahnal, [[Verse:Tricin/Skella|Skella]] in the Iasa region to a family of Swuntsim descent as the second of three children. Her father was the physicist and composer Avnin Axew, who was professor of physics in the University of Hirvahnal. Her mother, Hvava Sgutsis (adapted from Talman Swuntsim ''Scütsis''), was a ''ðavr'' player and music teacher (she was also a composer). Her mother's brother, Mugiv Chətσüde, was a ''jogóm'' player. | Sgutsis was born in the city of Hirvahnal, [[Verse:Tricin/Skella|Skella]] in the Iasa region to a family of Swuntsim descent as the second of three children.

Despite her pioneering work on EDOs, Sgutsis did not consider herself an EDO advocate -- she viewed her work on EDOs as mathematical curiosity. She found EDOs too restrictive (if the division was not fine enough as to effectively be just intonation). | Despite her pioneering work on EDOs, Sgutsis did not consider herself an EDO advocate -- she viewed her work on EDOs as mathematical curiosity.
