Instead you keep bringing up that MRA is somehow unique when it's no different from any other noun.You have narrowed your sample to what you call "noun" roots only, even though a noun root like "son" matches poorly with the "lord" root. Consider the root for the noun "captive", derived from the verb to "capture". Sh-B-A is the root.
Until you come up with another example where a Yodh is used to form the Emphatic from a noun please don't waste my time.
+Shamasha
What is the singular emphatic for "the-captive"? It is (ShaB-Yau`). A Yod used to form the singular emphatic.
What is the plural emphatic for "the-captives"? It is (Sh-Ba-Yau`). A Yod used to form the plural emphatic.

Assume for a moment that the root for "lord" actually is M-R-A, like Sh-B-A, even though there is no apparent verb base.
What might be the singular emphatic for "the-lord". It might be (MauR-Yau`).
What might be the plural emphatic for "the-lords". It might be (Mau-Ra-Yau`).
