According to John Tvedtnes' phonemic analysis of Book of Mormon names, in only one instance does the phenome /p/ occur in Nephite names after a vowel. This is in the name "Riplah" (Alma 43:31). This is unlike different Jaredite names such as Riplakish and Ripliancum. Thus it appears that the name "Riplah" appears to be a Jaredite borrowing. [John A. Tvedtnes, "A Phonemic Analysis of Nephite and Jaredite Proper Names," Newsletter and Proceedings of the S.E.H.A., 141 (December 1977), p. 6]
