L&N (from AcCordance):
<color><param>0000,7777,0000</param>68.5 EPIBALLW: to begin an
activity, with special emphasis upon the inception or possibly the
suddenness with which the event takes place - 'to begin.' EPIBALWN
EKLAIEN 'he began to cry' Mk 14:72. It would also be possible to
understand EPIBALLW in Mk 14:72 as meaning 'when he thought of it' or
'when he reflected on it' (see 30.7).
