Might "sifr" be a cognate for "cipher"?
Slovak has two cognates: šifra (cipher: secret writing, plus some related meanings, such as an individual character of a secret writing, an abbreviated signature, or anidentifying mark) and the word cifra (digit). (Probably used a bit less than its synonym číslica).
The word ciferník denotes an instrument or clock dial (also číselník).
