Does the combination breathing mark/grave accent over the same letter ever
occur (rough or smooth)?
It could only occur on a one-syllable word (since grave can stand only on
the ultima and breathing marks only on the first). Most Greek fonts include
such a composite character, but I've read through quite a few NT chapters
and rummaged in several grammars (& Carson's book on accents), without
finding such a creature. But I'd not want to dogmatize on that skimpy
evidence. (Do any of the grammatical search programs [Accordance, Gramcord,
BibleWorks, etc.] allow searching for such diacritics?)
