There's no such emulation mode.

emulate [ -LR ] [ {zsh|sh|ksh|csh} [ -c arg ] ]
With single argument set up zsh options to emulate the specified shell
as much as possible.  csh will never be fully emulated.  If the
argument is not one of the shells listed above, zsh will be used as a
default

This seems to not actually be true though,
    if (ch == 'r')
	ch = zsh_name[1];

    /* Work out the new emulation mode */
    if (ch == 'c')
	emulation = EMULATE_CSH;
    else if (ch == 'k')
	emulation = EMULATE_KSH;
    else if (ch == 's' || ch == 'b')
	emulation = EMULATE_SH;
    else
	emulation = EMULATE_ZSH;
