the 1418 was likely from Yuan chinese world globe, which has all the features like the Hudson bay and california island. it wasn't done by the Arabs but by the Yuan chinese, who could not pronounce the S ending words, Arabs wouldn't have problem with S sounding world.
Lor Mu Er in Europe sounds like another language altogether, Mongolian?

Right below the california island, chinese words say San Bao had been to such and such places, and I just can't figure out what the places are about, can you identify them? is one of the place Peru?
