Slomka should mean something like "Breaker" or "Crusher" in Czech.  It is likely
to be a common Slavic bound root <==== (s)lom-* meaning "break" or "crush".

Regardless, you seem to have travelled way too deep into the Woods. Have you
thrown any crumbs along the way or will you have to keep rambling to find the
way back?
