The sultanate is divided into "Early" and "Late" periods, which have different sets of phrases that can appear in the histories. The first two sultans are early, the third sultan uses a 50:50 mix of early and late, and the fourth and fifth sultans are late. The following table shows the differences between the two; shared entries are not included. | |||
