Though it may be a term for a broader phenomenon than what you sought, it may 
be worth mentioning Martin Buber's "Leitwort."

Dear Dr. Vance,

Thank you for the term.
Fortunately, my paper does not require that the use of the "cognate accusative" 
constructions be emphatic.

I'm merely tracking the recurrence of the cognate accusative construction in 
Zechariah.

In other words, your observation is very helpful because it provides the 
correct term, but I won't have to go back to the drawing board. In fact, if the 
use of cognate accusative is not emphatic, it gives me one less feature to 
address in my paper. That's great, because I was wondering WHY these cognate 
accusatives would be emphatic: That is, what was the author trying to 
emphasize? If there's no emphasis, I can ignore that question. That's good news.

I appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

Chris Lovelace
