AFAIK never used in canon.
Trek rivia:
Ayelborne is the chairman ({DevwI'}?) of the village Council of Elders on Organia. Kor asked if the Organian Council of Elders was "the ruling council" (TOS "Errand of Mercy").
Similar words:
yej assembly, council (n) - difference from {rIp} unknown
yejHaD institute, institution (n)
yejquv (Klingon) High Council (n)
yej'an society (e.g. a scholarly or academic society) (n)
qup elder (n)
quprIp Council of Elders (n)
I've seen *{rIpHom} used for a panel, committee, board, commission, etc.
