Base k emirpimes

There must be an elegant expression in Mathematica for the general case of
base k emirpimes.

For base 5, the analogous sequence begins 14, 24, 41, 42, 114, 123, 124,
144, 213, 244, ...

And which integers are emirpimes in more than one base? More than two?

In one sense, these are all silly.  In another, A097393 was my first
sequence. There is plenty of usage of digital reversal in OEIS. It has
deeper meaning when we look at reversals of strings of operators. For
example, for the adjoint operator usually denoted with a superscripted
dagger and a set of adjoint operators A, B, ..., Z, we have:
(AB...Z)^dagger = Z^dagger ... B^dagger A^dagger.

analogue of what for base 3 is A119684 and for base 10 is A097393. The
