The paired nominatives polemoi {πόλεμοι | pó-le-moi} “wars” and machai {μάχαι | má-khai} “fights” form a semantic parallelism, escalating the seriousness of the disputes.
In context — James 4:1
From where do wars and from where do fights come among you? Is it not from here—from your pleasures that are waging war in your members?
