It's not. "Ny" is the closest the anglo tongue can come to pronouncing a soft N and since there are two Cs in there, The consonant is geminated, a sound that isn't very common in English words and hard for English speakers to pronounce. Think of it like that slight pause between the Ks in the word bookkeeper. That's pretty close. To use your transliteration system, it would be nyok-kee.
