How can I create an alias synonym?

I have an alias pwd

How can I create another alias that is a synonym for it?

For example I have
alias cd1='cd ~/dir1'


I want a second alias cd01 that points to the same place but I don't want to also have:
alias cd01='cd ~/dir1'
in case /dir1 changes
alias bash

It works in both bash and zsh.
$ alias cd1='cd /'

$ alias cd01=cd1

$ cd01; pwd

/

# now, to change cd1

$ alias cd1='cd /etc'

$ cd01; pwd

/etc
