Compound subjects with hH?

In our review of James 2:14-16, we came across in verse 15 the following
construction:

EAN ADELFOS hH ADELFH GUMNOI hUPARXWSIN ...

with the plural form being used hereafter. I would have expected the hH
to have resulted in the use of a *singular* verb and adjective. Is it
just my English grammar coming through, or do we have an unusual switch
from singular to plural? If it is ununusual, what, if anything, is the
significance?
