 ==Early life and education==
-Askuucis was born in the city of [???], [[Verse:Tricin/Anvir|Anvir]] to a family of Sfətsiv descent as the second of three children. Her father was the physicist and composer Avnin Salis, who was professor of physics in the University of [???]. Her mother, Χwava Askuucis (adapted from Sfətsiv ''scwutsis''), was a classical ''ŋams'' player and music teacher. Her mother's brother, Mugiv Ytxudhe, was a [] 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. 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.
-A child prodigy, Rhooc was taught ''ngams'' and math from a young age. She started auditing music and math classes before she was 5. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in the University of Flian in math at age 10 by taking an entrance exam. She was an exceptionally gifted student and graduated in mathematics and music with honors at age 16 (fT 2052). She then studied composition and instrumentation with a number of composers.
+As a child, she invented just intonation cross-sets, inspired by at a multiplication table. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in the University of Hiravnol in math at age 10 by taking an entrance exam. She was an exceptionally gifted student and graduated in mathematics and music with honors at age 16 (fT 2052).
-In fT 2056 Askuucis returned as a doctoral student in mathematics to [???] University, where she specialized in combinatorics and number theory. Under the supervision of Esngoa rith Mnang, Askuucis was awarded a doctorate for her dissertation in fT 2061.
+After graduating, Sgutsis studied composition and instrumentation with [Anbirese composer]. At this time she began corresponding with a number of Anbirese and Rhythoed composers, musicians and theorists to exchange ideas about music. Much of her theoretical work took place within these letters.
 ==Later life==
-Shortly after receiving her doctorate, Askuucis started corresponding with a number of Anvirese and Windermere composers, musicians and theorists to exchange ideas about music. Much of her theoretical work took place within these letters.
+Later in life Sgutsis made a living performing, conducting and selling her compositions. She published her treatise for the first time in fT 1166.
-In fT 2076, an academic took notice of Askuucis's work and invited her to serve in the University of Kadaam Saree as a professor of music. She accepted the offer and would continue to teach there for 14 years. Among her students were several notable Talman composers and popular musicians.
+In fT 1190, Sgutsis secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Sŋoran until she died of a stroke in fT 1200.
-In fT 2090, Askuucis retired from her academic post and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Asŋooraan until she died of a stroke in fT 2100.
+==Compositions==
+In earlier work, Sgutsis used classical-style JI scales, including larger cross sets, and some scales of her own invention. However, later she gravitated more and more towards free JI, since she found fixed scales too restrictive for her purposes.
-==Contributions to music theory==
-Weird constant structures (with 16, 18, 23, and other numbers of notes)
-Cross sets (Askuucis generally preferred larger ones)
+Sgutsis also dabbled in poetry and set some of her own poems to choral works and art songs, in addition to poetry by such writers as Grouid and Jopah.
-Used 12edo in a musical composition, as a cross set of 3edo and 4edo
+*''Bwrjadreeg Cantatas''
+*Many pieces of chamber music, including 17 string quartets and solo ''ðavr'' and ''ñamsom'' pieces
-==Compositions==
+*''Naquian Dances'', a Naquian music-inspired suite written in subsets of 41edo.
-===Partial list===
-*''Winter Solstice Cantatas''
-*Many keyboard pieces
-*Many pieces of chamber music, including 10 string quartets and dozens involving keyboard accompaniment
 *Choral pieces
 *Art songs
 **Some (many of them love songs) are duets, using the ''yeejeħrhoog'' technique
-*Some musical dramas
+**Settings of Etsoj Jopah's poems
-*Pieces for the unaccompanied ''ðavr''
+*A few ''vylám''s
-*''Etude in Twelve Equal Divisions''
+**One Alice in Wonderland type thing
+**One or two of ___'s tragedies (?)
+*Many pieces for the unaccompanied violin / ''ðavr''
+*Many pieces for solo guitar
+==Contributions to music theory==
+Sgutsis's work on tuning theory includes:
+*Cross-sets
+*Properties of particular equal temperaments: 19edo, 22edo, 27edo, 31edo, 34edo, 41edo, 46edo
+**41, 46 and 58 smallest edos that represent 13-limit JI. Sgutsis often used higher edos than 31 but that didn't stick; it was 31edo which caught on.
+*Horograms and MOS scales
+*Noted that 12edo, 19edo, 22edo, 31edo, 41edo and 46edo were accurate because of the Riemann zeta function
+*Proposed 41edo as a system approximating [[Naquian]] scales that divide the perfect fifth into 4 or 8 equal parts, in particular building on Jopah's work.
+These ideas in particular influenced
+*Garinjeor Bloisin: Anbirese music theorist who fully developed regular temperament theory
+*Honan Đawhindøø: Fyxoomian classical composer
 ==Bibliography==
-*???
+*(a treatise of all her music theory ideas)
+*(collection of essays)
+*(an autobiography or a memoir)
