Shlama Akhi Chuck,
The answer to this dives a bit into dialectology. In our dialect, vocalization of the singular possessive suffix Yodh ("i, ee, y", it's written many ways in Latin chars) is silent when there are other vowels in the word. For instance, while I write "Akhi" to say "my brother", it is vocalized as "Akh" (the final Yodh being silent.)
In Phillipians 4:19, "my God" (A-L-H-Y) is pronounced with a silent Yodh ("Alah"). The final Yodh is not vocalized.
