Now that's interesting.  "remei" means "is a pair", so "le remei" means 
"that which I call a pair".  I don't see a problem here.  The 
"individuality" of "le" is, I think, in the eye of the observer - by 
using "le remei", I convey that I am thinking of the pair as an entity , 
which is surely what is called for here.
