Never used in canon.
Related verbs:
{chol} "close in, get closer, come nearer"; {ghoS} "follow a course,
proceed"; {tlhetlh} "progress"; {HIv} "attack, assault"
Antonyms include:
{DoH} "back away from, back off, get away from"; {HeD} "retreat, withdraw"
Related nouns:
{Ser} "progress"; {He} "course, route"
I've always assumed that {DuH} is more a "militaristic act" (as Okrand
calls similar verbs in KGT p.48) - e.g. "our troops are advancing on the
enemy position" - especially as we have {ghoS}, {chol} and {tlhetlh} for
general verbs of motion.
