The royal palace is like the Tulk, but the houses are of different types. The common dwellings, which they call "bayut," are made of millet stalks. The houses of the rulers or kings are built of reeds, like the Asandkar. Some are called "Suktābah," some are called "Taklī," and some are called "Karnak." When the Suktābah are built, their palaces are like this: they are like a snake's head, because they are long and slender from above. They bring ostrich eggs, and they perfect each egg by its center, and they insert a stick. The stick has three or four eggs between them, with a ball of fired clay. Below that is a jug made by the Kura'i, and they pour it over the top of the dome. As for the Taklī, it is a house shaped like this: from above, a spearhead and a ball, standing on two pillars. As for the Karnak, it is similar, as it stands on four pillars. The Sultan adorns the Suktābah with ostrich eggs and its decorations are like the Kura'i. He covers the top of its structure with red and white, like this, to distinguish it from others. Below are the houses of the Sultan and the Ya'kri and the dignitaries of the state.
