Gut gezugt!  but Also remember that the Yerushalmi is also in Aramaic!
There is Babylonian dialect of Aramaic and a Judean dilact Aramaic

The Yekum Purkan is clearly Babylonian. [no time to research details now]
AFAIK It is an exception to the above Klal. [klal is a generality more than
a rule] & FWIW In some Sephardic circles it is omitted due to the content of
the bakashos involved. and I concur. The fact that the references tothe
Reish Galutha are obsolete does not bother me so much. The bakashos
themselves [e.g. uvaryus gufa] seems to me as not shabbasdik
