The standard sign meaning pyramid is simply the drawing of a pyramid set on a foundation - but made rather taller and narrower than a genuine pyramid. This sign is pronounced mr - vowels were not written so we can never know how it was said.
Sometimes the word mr is spelled out in sound-signs: a vertical chisel, an owl and a mouth; the chisel has the sound value mr, the owl is m and the mouth is r - the second two simply confirm the value of the first, since a chisel can also have the value 3b. These signs are followed by the hieroglyph for pyramid as a "determinative" to clarify the meaning, since there are other words with the consonants mr.
The plural (pyramids) is formed by adding three short vertical strokes after these signs - the plural sound value would then be mrw.
