They were 'bytes' from the very beginning.  From Forth-79 ...

C!             n addr --                     219          "c-store"
     Store the least significant 8-bits of n at addr.

C@             addr -- byte                  156          "c-fetch"
     Leave  on  the stack the contents of the byte  at  addr  (with
     higher bits zero, in a 16-bit field).

CMOVE          addr1 addr2 n --              153           "c-move"
     Move  n  bytes  beginning  at address  addr1  to  addr2.   The
     contents  of  addr1  is moved  first  proceeding  toward  high
     memory.  If n is zero nothing is moved.
