By a stream, a snake abandons a rock.

Over a pool, a kingfisher dwells,
Under a fallen branch, a fish survives.

In a tree, lovers meet,
Under the glimmering Moon they reunite.

Assuming that Melethril (female lover) and Melethron (male lover) are made from meleth+-or+gender suffix, that would mean that the gender-less version would be Melethor.
