Since Ben-Yehuda died more than 70 years ago, his works should be in the public domain by now. Too bad it isn't available on the Web, electronically, instead of having to buy expensive and bulky books.
Well, the dictionary was completed after his death - the last volume came out in 1958.
Too bad the Modern Hebrew language created by ben Yehuda is not related to the Hebrew language of the ancient sraelites. David or Jamlayel or Hellil could not understand a word from the spoken post-Yiddish language.
Ben Yehuda himself an ashkenazi who spoke yiddish a daughter language of the Eastern Gothic language of the Khazars.
