Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

Ădōnĭa, ōrum, n., τὰ Ἀδώνια, the festival of Adonis. It returned annually in June, about the time of the summer solstice, and was celebrated (even in Rome; cf. Manso, Essays on Myth.) with alternate lamentations and exultations, on account of the death of Adonis, Amm. 22, 9. This festival was a symbol of the dying and reviving again of nature; cf. Hier. ad Ez. 8; Creuz. Symb. 2, 86; Böttig. Sab. 1, 261 sq.
