The Hebrew dictionary by Avraham Even-Shoshan, commonly known as the Even-Shoshan Dictionary, was first published (1948-1952) as "??????? ??????" (milon khadash, A New Dictionary), later (1966-1970) as "?????????? ????????" (hamilon hekhadash, The New Dictionary), and finally (2003, well after his death) as "??????? ??????????????" (milon even-shoshan, The Even-Shoshan Dictionary).

The Even-Shoshan Dictionary is written fully vowelized, and not just in ktiv maleh, because ktiv maleh may change the meaning slightly. For example, in the word "?????" ('lehaniach'), if the ? ('heh') has a patach under it, it means "to cause rest;" while if it has a kamatz under it, it means "to place."

The dictionary contains over 70,000 words.
