Shlama,
yeah, there is definitely a sweet pun going on here! it could also be suggested that the word khawreh/khabreh (neighbor/companion) would have been intended to fit right into the love/debt khab pun.
the more you read the Peshitta, the more you find these types of puns all over the place. i've especially noticed them prevalent in Paul's letters -- he seemed to have a knack for these clever constructions!
