The keybindings are quite different than polytonic input methods in
other programs. M-x describe-input-method covers them all.
For example, small omega with perispomeni in greek-babel is: "~" +
"w" = ῶ
These can be combined. So small alpha with dasia and perispomeni would
be: "<" + "~" + "a" = ἇ
Small rho with psili: ">" + "r" = ῤ
But maybe I'm missing something?
