Also, DODOES, DOUSER, and perhaps DOLIT. Did you mean something like "defining words" or "primitives" or "low-level words" or "code words" ? Did you mean something like "level 0" (fig-Forth) or "nucleus" (Forth-79 and Forth-83) or "core" (DPANS94)? Did you mean something like an XT? Did you mean something like ;CODE or (;CODE) ?
