 How many entries? August 21, 2007

No information is given in the Amazon Product Description as to the number of word entries in this dictionary. The sample pages viewable show text widely spaced, so that the fact that it has 800 pages does not necessarily mean it has a large number of entries. One wonders how it compares in completeness with the Modern Hebrew-English Dictionary by Shimshon Inbal, for example. Prospective buyers need to know such things! Why should we put out $30 just to discover that the coverage is minimal? Otherwise, I like the layout, visible in the online excerpt. I *might* be interested in buying it, if the publisher and Amazon had given more information. The one reviewer on the Amazon website does not say how many entries it has, if he knows.
 My favorite Hebrew dictionary ever! April 29, 2006
Paul Jorgensen (Osaka, Japan)
This dictionary was produced by the Ulpan at which I studied in Jerusalem, and I bought a copy during my time there. It is amazing, because it is organized unlike any other Hebrew dictionary I've seen. Rather than having words listed individually, they are listed under their (usually three character) verb root. For any given verb root you are given the 3rd person singular past tense of the verb in every binyan that it occurs (pa'al, pi'el, hitpa'el, etc.), as well as any other common words that are derived from that root. This helped give me a deep sense for how the meaning varies in each binyan, and also helped me build my vocabulary rapidly because I could connect a lot of new words to a verb root I already knew.
Browsing this book gave me a sense for creating various kinds of nouns and adjectives from the verb root following systematic constructions, even if I had never heard the word before. The "new" word I created on the spot was usually correct, and if not correct, it was fully understood.
This book helped deepen my knowledge of Hebrew morphology and greatly expanded my vocabulary, so I gave a big 5 stars.
