Dear Heidi, I am writing in response to your query regarding the establishment of Adloyada. Following discussion with colleagues here at LC, we recommend that you propose this as a subject heading and not a name heading. Adloyada is a type of festival, and not one specific festival per se. There are Adloyada festivals held in numerous cities. We therefore suggest the following treatment: 150 Adloyada (Festival) 550 Purim 550 Festivals 952 LC Pattern: Jonkonnu (Festival) We recommend that you also have a 670 for the EJ entry, where you might want to cite the rabbinic saying from which the term is derived--ad de-lo yada. I hope this is helpful. Best wishes, Aaron
