Used in canon:

ending a battle to save an empire is no defeat (TKW)
Discussed in KGT:
Common militaristic acts also have associated terminology, both
verbs ({DoHmoH}, "drive back"; {Hub}, "defend"; {yot}, "invade";
{weH}, "raid} <...> {HIv}, "attack, assault"; {Sev}, "contain;
{HeD}, "retreat, withdraw") and nouns ({yot}, "invasion, raid,
incursion"; {Hub}, "defense"). (KGT 48)
Cf. also {HeD} "retreat, withdraw"; {jun} "evade}, {nargh} "escape"
>Antonyms: chol
"close in, get closer, come nearer"
Cf. also {Duv} "advance", {ghoS} "proceed, come toward, approach"
