You cannot compare a substantive noun with a regular noun. Not in English and not in Aramaic. The rules for forming the emphatic are completely different.
In English and in Aramaic, the part of speech of the root dictates the form of the noun.
In Aramaic, the noun root is transformed into the Emphatic by simply adding an Aleph to the end for the singular. If it already has an aleph, like the weak III radicals we are examining, then the form remains in the emphatic just as the root. No difference.
There is no Yodh added to a noun root to form the emphatic lexeme.
Are we past this part yet?
