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.
