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.
