Abstract: The

q

-difference equation, the shift and the contiguity relations of the Askey-Wilson polynomials are cast in the framework of the three and four-dimensional degenerate Sklyanin algebras

m a t h f r a k {s k a}_{3}

and

m a t h f r a k {s k a}_{4}

. It is shown that the

q

-para Racah polynomials corresponding to a non-conventional truncation of the Askey-Wilson polynomials form a basis for a finite-dimensional representation of

m a t h f r a k {s k a}_{4}

. The first order Heun operators defined by a degree raising condition on polynomials are shown to form a five-dimensional vector space that encompasses

m a t h f r a k {s k a}_{4}

. The most general quadratic expression in the five basis operators and such that it raises degrees by no more than one is identified with the Heun-Askey-Wilson operator.
