 Suggestions so far:

 initex:
   As initex is the command used to create TeX formats and only
 contains the core TeX-commands

 coretex:
   As they are the core TeX-commands

 The reason I ask is because I've written the new
 core-TeX-syntax-definition for Vim and I'd like to get the name right.
   
the commands defined in cont-en.xml are core commands; quite some commands in 
syst-gen, syst-ext, syst-new and supp-box are also 'frozen'

the normal word is primitives. If that can't be done, using initex
make most sense. We often use the word 'core' to refer to ConTeXts
macro commands (as Hans said already).

 What I meant was, the commands defined in the TeX-executable itself,
 i.e., stuff like \def, \global, 

 I think that initex makes the most sense considering the options.
   
ctxtools can list them (e.g. --sciteinterface gives several classes of 
primitives, macros, etc)
