Hieroglyphs are made up of many different types of symbol; some represent a single consonant such as n, others represent two consonants such as nb, others are "triliteral" and represent three consonants such as nfr. There are also many other signs that are not pronounced at all, but clarify the meaning of a word or qualify it in some way.
One familiar triliteral sign is the one we now call "ankh", which is really 'nkh in Egyptian ('+ n+ kh).

What is the term for a triliteral root in Semitic languages?
The word for a triliteral root differs between the Semitic languages. In Hebrew, it is called a "shoresh" (שרש). In Aramaic, it is called a "shersha" (ܫܪܫܐ‎). In Arabic, the term is "jedhr" (جذر). However, the grammatical function of the triliteral root in all of these languages is the same.
What is the triliteral root of the word سيارة?
The triliteral root or jedhr of sayaara (سيارة) is either "syr" (سير) or "sar" (سار). Both are correct, but "syr" is agreed upon by all grammarians while "sar" is less popular. The difference is that some grammarians argue that alif cannot be a root letter, because alif is the only letter in Arabic which is a vowel and a number of grammarians argue that it is impossible for vowels to be constituent entities of a triliteral root.Please see Hans Wehr Dictionary pages 521 and 522 for further clarification.
