Thanks Robert,
Initially I thought it would probably be Lua which could come up with a
simple solution, though Hans had made it clear that 'messing with' the
key was the way to go, and, as always, he was proven correct. I simply
had to find out the best way to do the messing! But when time allows I
will take a closer look at the Lua possibilities.

Hi Julian,
Another solution could be to use Lua.
I have a multilingual document in which some elements to be printed
bold (Language 1), and collected in an index (trk) arranged according
their (verbal) stems. Elements from Language 2 are to be printed in
italics in the text and collected in a separate index.
In the present example the morphemes from Language 2 are separated by
::, the verbal stem ends in -.
In \\textbf the input is reproduced as is. Then interesting things
happen in the index (trk).
The first element (until the first ::) is taken as an main entry in
the index (hence !). Then the complete input is retained as the
secondary entry. Note that in the index - separates the morphemes.
I use LuaLatex, but I am quite sure this is also possible in Context.
It is quite complex, but it works.

\newcommand{\TWI}[1]{\directlua{twi_help(\luastring{#1})}}
\begin{luacode}
function twi_help ( s )
s = unicode.utf8.gsub (s,
'^([^:]+)::([^:]+)::([^:]+)::([^:]+)::([^:]+)$' ,
'\\textbf{%1::%2::%3%::%4::%5}\\sindex%[trk%]{%#%1!%1%-%2%-%3%-%4-%5}’ )
s = unicode.utf8.gsub … other action

Yes, Adam, that works. Though it can be a laborious solution, since
it means creating keys for everything in a sub entry list (and I have
many instances, 40 or more in some cases). However, I did not ask for
a 'simple' solution, just a solution! Thank you.

Hi Julian,
How about using the keys in every instance?
\setupregister[index][n=1,method={zc,pc,zm,pm,uc},style=WORD]
\defineprocessor[special][style=italic]
\starttext
P\index[Plenary+periti]{Plenary Council+{\it periti} (experts)}
B\index[Plenary+beriti]{Plenary Council+{\it beriti} (experts)}
A\index[Plenary+aeriti]{Plenary Council+aeriti (experts)}
S\index[animals+special]{animals+‘special kinds’}
B\index[animals+bpecial]{animals+bpecial}
A\index[animals+apecial]{animals+‘apecial’}
U\index[animals+upecial]{animals+‘upecial’}
T\index[animals+tpecial]{animals+tpecial}
\placeindex
\stoptext

Let me come back to the unresolved (for me) question of two
situations in sub entries to a book index (register). Sub
entries that have formatting or sub entries that are surrounded
by quote marks (straight or curly, it makes no difference) do
not appear in the correct alphabetical order.
Two attempts on my part:
text before \index[Plenary+periti]{Plenary Council+{\it periti}
(experts)} text after.
text before \index{animals+‘special kinds’} text after. Or
alternatively, \index[animals+special]{animals+‘special kinds’}
The setup for my register is a pretty standard one. The
processor is not for the 'periti' case above but I use it for
book titles.
\setupregister[index][n=1,method={zc,pc,zm,pm,uc},style=WORD]
\defineprocessor[special][style=italic]
In the periti case it is the \it command that clearly interferes
with correct alphabetic positioning in the sub entry list.
Placing +periti in the key does not overcome that problem.
In the ‘special kinds’ case it is the initial single quote mark
(‘) that causes the problem. The item comes last in the sub
entry list. And if i include a key [special], then it comes
first in the sub entry list. Either way, it is out of the
desired sorting order.
I believe I have followed the helpful suggestions of various
ones, but it is always possible that I have not fully understood
those suggestions. The reality is that at the moment the issue
remains unresolved for me. Any further wisdom out there to offer me?
