Hama marks people or actions as joined or concurrent, and in Matthew 20:1 accompanies an early departure.

The attested uses chiefly mark people or things as joined in a shared action or condition; they also mark actions occurring concurrently, while Matthew 20:1 places a departure early in the day.

1. Joined in a shared action or condition · dominant

   In 1 Thessalonians 4:17, the adverb occurs in the clause about those remaining being caught up with others; the APB renders the clause "caught up together with them." In Matthew 13:29 it occurs in the warning that gathering weeds could uproot grain with them, while Romans 3:12 places all in the same turning-aside action.

2. Concurrent action or circumstance · common

   In 1 Timothy 5:13 and Acts 24:26, the adverb introduces a circumstance alongside another stated activity; the APB renders each "At the same time." Acts 27:40 places loosening, hoisting, and heading for shore alongside casting off the anchors, and Philemon 1:22 joins preparation for lodging to the surrounding request.

3. At an early time · rare

   In Matthew 20:1, the form occurs with the householder's departure to hire workers; the APB renders the departure as going out "early."

   Matthew 20:1

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the term through "together," "At the same time," and, in Matthew 20:1, "early." These renderings confirm the clauses' overall relations rather than assigning every English expression directly to the term.
