Great observation. Indeed the Yath is missing entirely from the NT, is not natively Aramaic and is rampant in translational Aramaic from Hebrew primary sources. As you know, the lamedh Proclitic serves that purpose in Aramaic.
For the Yath, open up Genesis chapter one on the left. See how frequent Yath is used in translational Aramaic from Hebrew.
