What does llamas means in English?

If you mean a Spanish word, it would be "llamas" (see the comment below about the apostrophe). This could be a form of the verb "llamar" (to call). it could also be the plural of a noun "llama" which can mean either flame or the animal that we also call llama. The apostrophe is generally not used in Spanish. never for possessive (as we say "Bob's house." Also Spanish does not use the apostrophe in contractions (as "can't" and "don't" in English). A book in Spanish might occasionally use the apostrophe in dialog to show that the speaker drops syllables, as "pa'" in place of "para."
