As a form of address, do you require that it invoke specifically the *High* Council? If brevity is a strong goal, {yejloD} "councilman" could suffice. Gender blindness might make {yejnuv} more acceptable. Brainstorming: yejjoH, rIpjoH, rIpHo', yejqup, rIpDuy... all compounds, but all appropriately understandable.
Or maybe just joH, as has already been used.
