Double diacriticaled letter

Question

I'm an non-english speaker absolute newbie to latex and this forum (so many reasons to despair !). I'm trying to use it to write ancient greek.I've managed to make single-diacritical letters alright. But I would like to stack a first diacrital sign for the accent (ó for example, made with \'{o}) with another diacrital for letter quantity (ō or ŏ, made with \={o} or \u{o} ). With :

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage[polutonikogreek,frenchb]{babel} 
\newcommand*{\tg}[1]{\textgreek{#1}}  
\begin{document} 
\tg{\={\'o}}
\end{document}

I'm getting Which would be perfect, but I would like the acute diacritical on top.

With :

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage[polutonikogreek,frenchb]{babel} 
\newcommand*{\tg}[1]{\textgreek{#1}} 
\begin{document} 
\tg{\'{\=o}} 
\end{document}

I'm getting with the acute diacritical not on top, but on the left. :/ Any idea to solve this issue ? Many thanks, o wise lateX wizards !

\textacutemacron{o} that is available when using the tipa package could be interesting. — leandriis, Jul 26 '20 at 10:37
I like your final invocation, but I'd prefer ‘o wise watex lizards!’… — Bernard, Jul 26 '20 at 11:09

You can use the teubner package that is specifically for philological typesetting of Greek.

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage[polutonikogreek,frenchb]{babel} 
\usepackage{teubner}
\newcommand*{\tg}[1]{\textgreek{#1}}  
\begin{document} 
\tg{a\Am{a}\Gm{a}\Cm{a}o\Am{o}\Gm{o}\Cm{o}}
\end{document}

Table 4 in the manual lists the commands for double diacritics.
