"MarYah deception" ???

Paul, you are correct that BaR is the "construct" and not the "absolute" as I wrote. My mistake. But BaR is still the base root, the simplest form it can be written in. See top left corner of link below, under "root", it says BR.

If I am bending any grammatical rules, then so is Dr. George A. Kiraz with SEDRA 3, and posted on Dukhrana. Hopefully they are not wasting your time as well. They list the root for lord as MRA, and list the inflections the same way as I do.

You say show me another noun where a Yod is used to form the singular emphatic. I could say, show me another noun where Xau-Xe`, as in Mau-Re`, is used as a singular construct. You likely can't, because both MauR-Yau` and Mau-Re` are unique to the stem. And I highly suspect that there are numerous other roots with some unique trait to them.

In Hebrew, sometimes it seems as though are as many exceptions to the rule as there are rules. No doubt, exceptions to the rule occur in the Aramaic as well.
