Based on your previous replies, an update to HarfBuzz to support BCP 47 `grc`
[Ancient Greek] is necessary, but would not suffice, to resolve this bug. Once
HarfBuzz has been updated, the LibreOffice “Greek, Ancient” language would need
to be updated to use `grc` rather than `el`, and two new LibreOffice languages
would be needed for polytonic versions of “Greek” and “Greek, Ancient”, using
`el-polyton` and `grc-polyton` respectively.

I’ve already reported a related issue on the OpenType specification at
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/typography-issues/issues/1226 to see if
they’ll either [1] extend the coverage of the `'ELL '` (Greek) and `'PGR '`
(Polytonic Greek) language system tags so that they’ll represent both `ell`
[Modern Greek] and `grc` [Ancient Greek], or [2] add two new language system
tags to represent Ancient Greek and Polytonic Ancient Greek. (I think that [1]
would be easier than [2], since [2] would require further updates to HarfBuzz.)

I’ll look into reporting on `grc` on the HarfBuzz issue site.
