Subject:  Diction question

Dear listers,
We are singing the Lamento d'Arianna by Monteverdi and have come across
a word that is spelled in the poem at the front of the score as
"chieggio" and in the score itself as "chieggo". The phrase is
translated as "what am I asking?". My question is which is correct? My
dictionary (Harper/Collins new Standard Edition) has chiedere as the
verb "to ask", but doesn't give any other alternatives. I spent some
time at the Diction Domain, but couldn't find an answer there (I was
probably looking in the wrong place on the new site!)
Thanks for your help on this.
Cheers
Craig, Burnaby BC
