Dear All,
I am setting up the synonym list. I defined it as "nomenclature"
\definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull]
\setupsynonyms[nomenclature] [criterium=all,location=serried]
when i type in someting like
\nomenclature{A} {Area}
it works.
But if I type
\nomenclature{$\alpha$}{Angle of something}
it fails. The reason may be only text could be used. I found the list is
sorted alphabetically. Then if I type a greek letter, the compiler does not
konw how to sort it.

Try \nomenclature[alpha]{$\alpha$}{…}

This will fail because to create a macro \alpha which expands to \alpha ...
Use uppercase letter to prevent this, when your font contains greek you can also use a text alpha, e.g.
\abbreviation[ALPHA]{α}{Angle of something}
\setupbodyfont[termes]
\starttext
\ALPHA
\stoptext

Thanks to Andreas and Wolfgang,
That's true. The uppercase letter works, the lowercase method
complains.
