I think "call" in the sense of "summon" could be
"klagau"/"klacpe"/"klami'e", depending on the circumstances.

klagau "x1 makes x2 go to x3 from x4 via x5 by means x6"
klami'e "x1 commands x2 to go to x3 from x4 via x5 by means (of going) x6"
klacpe "x1 asks x2 to go to x3 from x4 via x5 by means (of going) x6
in manner (of asking) x7"

All three could be "x1 calls x2 to x3 ..."
