It looks like you've taken these directly from the Index of Greek Words and
Forms, p. 277. If you checked the paragraphs in BDF, I wonder how you can
claim that any of these usages of APO indicates anything "like" an alpha
privative.

>161(1)

This is with verbs or expressions already containing the notion of distance
away.

>182

This is with adjective and adverbs of separation.

>140

This concerns usage of APO PROSWPOU representing the Hebrew expression for
"away from"

>217(1)(3)

(1) more on APO PROSWPOU representing Hebrew "away from"
(3) concerns Hebraism AKOUEIN with APO + gen. in sense "hear someone"
(where Greek uses AKOUW + genitive

>241(2)(3)

(2) concerns elliptical expressions,in this case AF' hHS (hHMERAS)
(3) I don't see APO in this par. at all.

>459(3)

This concerns the usage of APO TOTE, which means "thenceforth," hardly
"like" an alpha privative.
