Her father was the mathematician Avnín Salis, who was chair of mathematics in the University of Flian who composed in his spare time. Her mother, Fyvað Sgutsitn (adapted from Adutsib ''xwəbad skwucił''), 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 Olltal University 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 | A precocious tomboy, Rewhd was taught mathematics and ''davr'' by her parents.

Around graduation, Sgutsitn began to study with composers such as Cosga Siva. <!--At the encouragement of Siva, in fT 2255 she participated in the regional composition competition ''Farca Cøøve'', with ''[some cantata or mini-opera]'' and won first prize.--> | Around graduation, Sgutsitn began to study with composers such as Cosga Siva. <!--At the encouragement of Siva, in fT 2255 she participated in the regional composition competition ''Farca Cøøve'', with ''[some cantata or mini-opera]'' and won first prize.--> | ||

Shortly after receiving her doctorate, Sgutsitn abandoned research mathematics. She sustained herself by teaching or tutoring math and music, and occasionally by selling her compositions. She started corresponding with a number of composers and musicians to exchange ideas about music. These discussions, as well as explorations of non-Etalocian musical traditions, would inspire her to further develop the music theory at that time. These ideas were distilled into a treatise that was published in fT 2270. | Shortly after receiving her doctorate, Sgutsitn abandoned research mathematics.

In fT 2280, an academic took notice of Sgutsitn's work and invited her to serve in the University of Vahgo as a professor of music. She accepted the offer and would continue to teach there for 20 years. Among her students were several notable "modern era" Fyxámian composers and popular musicians. | In fT 2280, an academic took notice of Sgutsitn's work and invited her to serve in the University of Vahgo as a professor of music.

In fT 2300, Sgutsitn retired from her academic post 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. | In fT 2300, Sgutsitn retired from her academic post and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition.
