I want to check if another string starts with estg, abgb oder eg.
Now i could do a very long line of "starts-with() or starts-with()"
but I'm sure there is a better way to do it right ?!

The following expression:

     some $s in ('estg', 'abgb', 'eg') satisfies
       starts-with($input, $s)

or if you prefer,

test="exists(('estg', 'abgb', 'eg')[starts-with($input, .)])"
