I ahrk II

So one quick question, is there a pronounciation differnence between the letters I ahrk II; because with the suffixes for my and his/hers/its? Do they sound differnet enough to distinguish between them?

Emphasis falls on ii but not i. For example, zeymahi "my brother" would be stressed as zey-MAH-hi, while zeymahii "his/her brother" would be stressed as ZEY-mah-HII.
