The Language Game
At the end of term, I do not know if I have the brain wattage to master Niccan.
Niccan is a language, not a code. Translation does not consist of simply substituting letters or even words. It has its own vocabulary and grammar.
Niccan is perfectly regular. Unlike real languages, there are no exceptions or irregularities. A rule you learn in one context will apply in another context; if it doesn't that means you don't understand the rule correctly.
