I would think that Ghurkha could be considered a foriegn word for mercenary,,, considering thats exactly what a gurkha is, a mercenary.
The Gurkhas of Nepal are today used by the British Army, India and Singapore

Ghazw (plural ghazawÄt) (Arabic: غزÙ) is an Arabic word meaning an armed incursion for the purposes of conquest, plunder, or the capture of slaves and is cognate with the terms ghÄziya and maghÄzÄ«. In pre-Islamic times it signified the plundering raids organized by nomadic Bedouin warriors against either rival tribes or wealthier, sedentary neighbours.
In English language literature the word often appears as razzia, deriving from the French word razzier (rezzou) which entered the language at the time of the French colonization of North Africa, and which is itself a transliteration of the colloquial Arabic word ghazya. "Ghazawat" in some Muslim countries has the meaning of "Judgement".
