Any good ideas how to translate "adresa" in this context? It is about a gecko (small lizard): "Are o neinchipuita adresa in vanatoarea de muste. Face pe bibeloul de portelan, tencuit acolo pe tavan...Musca socotind-o drept lucru neinsufletit, se aseaza la odihna prin apropiere..."

fame
As Elvira was saying, it is not very obvious what it means in Romanian, but I think "fame" (or "reputation") would be a possible solution.
