Can't find this village

I am seeking information about a birthplace listed on a New York City marriage record in the 1870s. The bride, a Bohemian immigrant, identified her birthplace as "Procizka." I can't locate this village, which I am guessing might have been located in the Prague area, possibly Kutna Hora. It does not appear in any registries. Does anyone recognize this or have a suggestion as to what the actual name of the birthplace might be? Thank you.

    @Susan Gatti How about Prosíčka? (I don't speak Czech, mind, this is only a guess by how I suppose it may be pronounced.)

    Hi

    I too have relatives in New York who hail from Kutna Hora. 

    I’m not a gazetteer person (Mom was but she died in March of this year).

    I’m a workaround kind of gal.

    So I went to the archive…added Kutna Hora. These are the closest towns I can find… Polánka, Poličany, Přítoky.

    I have had some luck in go broad and searching Kutna Hora. When I find a record, I let it narrow the search.

    Who are you researching? I probably will run across them and can alert you. There is a chance we are researching the same people.

    Thanks, @Martha Murray and stH31, for all your help. I am getting through a significant foot operation and Covid. I appreciate any help you can provide.
