hAMA may be both - at the same time - and/or - with -
there is hAMA SUN ... it sounds like redundancy

I share your wiev, that hAMA is linked to OI NEKROI and OI ZWNTES. Pauls
concern is more the TOGETHER than the TIME of the happening. (This comes
clearer from the context:
v.13: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them
which are asleep, that ye **sorrow** not,
v.15: that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall
not prevent them which are asleep.
