Checking Paul's other uses of KAT. and ERG., as well as a Greek Concordance
and Louw & Nida, also had led me to believe that Paul basically treated
these two words as synonomous, at least in this passage. So in guessing
another possible reason why he switched words here, I had thought of the
assonance/alliteration possibility which you seem to confirm also.
Thanks.

I hope so!
