Martin Zammit's "A Comparative Lexical Study of Qur'ānic Arabic" seems

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but Martin Zammit's Comparative Lexical Study of Qur'anic Arabic contains information about Semitic cognates for Qur'anic lexical items.

You can find comparisons of Arabic and Hebrew in these works. Some of these
are indispensable references. I find Lipinski to be the most valuable
overall, but you ignore Brockelmann at your peril:
