That’s an old question that is still unclear AFAIK. Here’s what I have in my notes:
rIp council, assembly (n) [not used in the paq’batlh]
quprIp Council of Elders (n)
yej assembly, council (n) [not used in the paq’batlh]
- yIvuv, tIquvma. pagh SoH. yejvamvaD jeSmeH DIb Dabajbe'pu'.
Show respect, T'Kuvma. You are nothing. You have not earned a seat
at this council. (DSC/Qov "Battle At the Binary Stars" [non-canon!])
yejHaD institute (KLI), institution KGT (n)
yejquv High Council (n)
yej'an society (e.g. scholarly society) (n)
(HQ 4.4): The distinction between {yejHaD} and {yej'an} is not clear, though the former is usually - but not always - used for larger organizations. It is not known whether the first syllable of these words ({yej}) is {yej} “council, assembly”, but there could be some historic connection.
I can’t see any difference as to how they are used. Has anyone ever asked Okrand?

Both {rIp} and {yej} mean "assembly, council".
Is there any kind of difference between them, or are they perfect synonyms ?
