Paul, "captive" is a noun, so is "lord". In grammatical parlance, both "captive" and "lord" are substantive nouns, both are adjective nouns.
I am not comparing verb to noun; I am comparing noun to noun, substantive noun to substantive noun, adjective noun to adjective noun. I am comparing an S-B-A root to a M-R-A root. I am comparing the only root in the entire Peshittal NT (S-B-A) that matches the two Yod emphatics of (M-R-A); not to mention, by deduction, its singular construct as well.
(Sha-Be`) (Mau-Re`) singular construct
(ShaB-Yau`) (MauR-Yau`) singular emphatic
(Sh-Ba-Yau`) (Mau-Ra-Yau`) plural emphatic
From what I've seen so far, those are the only two nouns in the Peshitta NT that share that same type of paradigm. Even though you choose to discount it as meaningless, in my opinion, it has some relevance.
