TheHebrewdictionary byAvraham Even-Shoshan, commonly known as theEven-Shoshan Dictionary, was first published (1948–1952) as "מִלּוֹן חָדָשׁ‎ (milon ḥadash,A New Dictionary), later (1966–1970) asהַמִּלּוֹן הֶחָדָשׁ‎ (hamilon heḥadash,The New Dictionary), and finally (2003, well after his death) asמִלּוֹן אֶבֶן־שׁוֹשָׁן‎ (milon even-shoshan,Even-Shoshan Dictionary).

TheEven-Shoshan Dictionary is written fullyvowelized, and not just inktiv maleh, becausektiv maleh may change the meaning slightly. For example, in the word "להניח" ('lehaniach'), if the ה ('heh') has apatach under it, it means "to cause rest;" while if it has akamatz under it, it means "to place."^[1]

The dictionary contains over 70,000 words and includes etymological information, displaying roots andAramaic,Akkadian,Arabic orUgaritic cognates.

An online edition is available with the applicationBabylon,^[2] and freely through the default Dictionary applications on Apple devices.Google Search used to display Even-Shoshan's dictionary entries when using the defunct "define:" operator:definition of the word עברית.
