I try to get amforth as small as possible. The bare minimum of words
are collected in the dict_core and dict_minimum files. If you look at
the directory you will find a number of additional dict_ files, that
include some other files: dict_wl is for word lists, dict_vm
has definitions for the A/B registers (a VM extension), dict_mcu
has microcontroller specific words like sleep or -jtag that are
basically wrappers for specific machine instructions.

I did not yet found the gold way to make amforth both beginner
friendly and powerful and flexible and space optimal at once. 
The dict_* files are a vehicle but not the final solution. Sorry
