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.
