HALOT provides various cognates and uses of this word in the meaning
"servant" or "laborer" or "agricultural laborer" including Jewish Aramaic,
Samaritan, Syriac, Neo Syriac, Arabic (loanword from Syriac), Neo
Aramaic, among others.

The word is also in English, as a loan from Arabic, as "fellah" meaning "A peasant or agricultural laborer in an Arab country, such as Syria or Egypt." See http://www.answers.com/fellah.
