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

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]{á}{Angle of something}
\setupbodyfont[termes]
\starttext
\ALPHA
\stoptext
