Actually, he has. See below.

We do have canonical examples of this use.
The Klingon Way, page 111:
meQtaHbogh qachDaq Suv qoH neH. "Only a fool fights in a burning house."
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, 1993 Series, card 99, QU' [mission]:
loS... qIb HeHDaq, 'u' SepmeyDaq Sovbe'lu'bogh lenglu'meH He ghoSlu'bogh
retlhDaq 'oHtaH...
I don't have the official translation handy, but the relevant phrase is
{SepmeyDaq Sovbe'lu'bogh} "to unknown regions".
