Mawmūq, from w-m-q, conveys being loved or cherished; ikhāʾ denotes fellowship or brotherhood. Marmūq / mawmūq sound alike, yet express different qualities: being looked to with hope and being loved as a friend.
The rhyming pair is meaningful rather than decorative. The narrator represents himself as socially valued, not simply wealthy.
