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? -g
