I had to look up starti and I've been around a bit. Duo generally uses commonly used words.
What I saw in the dictionary confuses me about what you seem to be asking. To wit: start-i, (nt) = ek-ir(kur-funkci)i, Start off, depart, drive off, leave, turn on motor. etc.
I guess that startigos (which seems to relate only to machinery in the dictionary I checked) could work, but it feels more like a commentary on what sort of work will be done. (We will just be cogs in the machine)
ekos … I'll have to think about that one. meanwhile, read what vikungen wrote above.
Anybody else have anything?

Well, if eta can mean small and malo can mean opposite, then eki should be able to mean to start.
It can, but usually in a moving sort of sense. Not to say that it wouldn't work here. But if you read what Vikungen wrote you'll note that he suggested eklabori.
Like I said, I'll have to think about that, and hope that one of the Duo rangers comes through soon. (They tend to follow me anymore, for some reason)
