Does an effect that can be sustained begin on the same turn as the main effect occurs? Or does it begin on the next turn.

next turn.
PHB p278 said:
Sustained Durations: An effect that has a “sustain standard,” a “sustain move,” or a “sustain minor” duration lasts as long as you sustain it. Starting on the turn after you create an effect, you sustain the effect by taking the indicated action

Yeah, but I can create the effect in this turn, then use a minor action in this turn to sustain it.

Is it:
Starting on the same turn after you create an effect; or
Starting on the next turn after you create an effect?

Under standard English usage, this phrasing would refer to the next turn, not later the same turn.
