I don't know, but I read three squares in any direction as a combination of Dromedary and Gecko (or Threeleaper and Tripper, of HG) and the stipulation "and one square over" as an indication that it can jump over one piece (friend or foe) but not over two pieces.

I have no idea what the NightKnight's move is, a conservative interpretation would be a Nightrider restricted to two steps (NN2), but a more free interpretation could indicate a piece resembling a Chu Shogi Lion with Knight moves. Or a Knight version of the Prime Minister (like the Lion, but must stop after a capture).
