Akhi Otto,
There are many other examples as well. Check out Daniel 2:29, 2:37, 3:4, etc.
That is also the reason why Meshikha in Mark 14:36 calls upon God as "Abba", in the Emphatic (Vocative), instead of "Ab" (the root, or construct state for father). In Aramaic whenever someone is addressed directly their name or title is in the Emphatic.
