llamarla has an object pronoun attached to it, so it becomes "to call her (depending on who/what "la" represents)".

llamar just means "to call"

Not always. "llamar a la puerta" is translated as "to knock (tocar) on the door" - 0074b507, Oct 5, 2011

To me also. Sorry, I was just commenting for the author. I know that you know what the verb means. - 0074b507, Oct 5, 2011
Ah Quentin! You mean as when someone came/comes calling? - samdie, Oct 6, 2011
