Sod it - just say le gerku .e le mlatu ;-)
More sensible comment -
In English we'd probably disambiguate "they" by adding "both". What
would be the lojban equivalent (or am I opening a can of worms like
"would you like tea or coffee?")?
In this context, the sensible suggestion is indeed. The "can of worms" is just the original question restated in a way that, alas, does not seem to produce any more light.
<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.>
Yup. Notice that out of this context (and maybe even in it, since {le remei} is not that secure here) {le remei} might refer to a number pairs.
