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.
