  The purpose of this article is to bring structure to (basic) hypergeometric
biorthogonal systems, in particular to the q-Askey scheme of basic
hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. We aim to achieve this by looking at the
limits as p->0 of the elliptic hypergeometric biorthogonal functions from
Spiridonov, with parameters which depend in varying ways on p. As a result we
get 38 systems of biorthogonal functions with for each system at least one
explicit measure for the bilinear form. Amongst these we indeed recover the
q-Askey scheme. Each system consists of (basic hypergeometric) rational
functions or polynomials.
