prasklá

Prasklá is primarily a toponym used for several small settlements or cadastral localities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The name functions as a feminine form of the adjectival participle from the verb prasknout in Czech and Slovak, meaning “cracked” or “burst.” In place names, such descriptive elements are common and may reflect historical landscape features, local events, or characteristics noted by early settlers, though exact origins are not always documented.

As a geographic label, Prasklá typically refers to minor rural places rather than large towns. Because multiple locales share the name, references to Prasklá usually require disambiguation by region, district, or municipality to identify the specific locality in question.

Linguistically, Prasklá illustrates how Czech and Slovak toponymy often uses descriptive adjectives to form place names. The form prasklá is the feminine singular, contrasting with masculine prasklý or neuter prasklé, depending on the noun it modifies.

Notable information about a particular Prasklá—such as population, administration, or local landmarks—depends on the specific locality being referenced. Since there is no single widely known Prasklá, readers are advised to specify the country or district when seeking detailed information.
