Abstract: A new interpretation and applications of the ``Diophantine and factorisation properties of {em finite} orthogonal polynomials in the Askey scheme are explored. The corresponding twelve polynomials are the ($q$-)Racah, (dual, $q$-)Hahn, Krawtchouk and five types of $q$-Krawtchouk. These ($q$-)hypergeometric polynomials, defined only for the degrees of $0,1,ldots,N$, constitute the main part of the eigenvectors of $N+1$-dimensional tri-diagonal real symmetric matrices, which correspond to the difference equations governing the polynomials. The {em monic} versions of these polynomials all exhibit the ``Diophantine and factorisation properties at higher degrees than $N$. This simply means that these higher degree polynomials are zero-norm ``eigenvectors of the $N+1$-dimensional tri-diagonal real symmetric matrices. A new type of multi-indexed orthogonal polynomials belonging to these twelve polynomials could be introduced by using the higher degree polynomials as the seed solutions of the multiple Darboux transformations for the corresponding matrix eigenvalue problems. The shape-invariance properties of the simplest type of the multi-indexed polynomials are demonstrated. The explicit transformation formulas are presented.
