Xamo

• 1693, Robert Morden, “Of China”, in Geography Rectified; or a Description of the World‎^[1], 3rd edition, page 439:

  Weft ward beyond the Province of Peking lies Xanſi on the North whereof lies the great Wall, and behind that the Tartar Kingdom of Tangu and the Deſert Xamo. This Province is divided into five Counties, having eighty ſix Cities, and tho not very big, yet is pleaſant. The City Taiyuen is the Metropolis, which for its Antiquity of Building, ſtately and brave Edifices, is accounted amongſt the beſt Cities of China : At the City Pingiany the Emperor Jau kept his Court within the Walls ; and Without the Gates of Fuencheu ſtands two ſtately, ancient, and magnificent Buildings.

cf. Xansi/Shanxi & Xantung/Shandong- Xamo seems like Shamo to me. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 00:20, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
