chris watts,

M- is often used in comparison, i.e. corresponding to the situations
MORE THAN and TOO MUCH TO. but in some cases it is also used as plain
negation/exclusion/impediment, e.g.

כִּי נִצְּתוּ מִבְּלִי-אִישׁ עֹבֵר jer 9:9

כִּי-לִבָּם, צָפַנְתָּ מִּשָּׂכֶל; job 17:4

פָּרַץ נַחַל, מֵעִם-גָּר--הַנִּשְׁכָּחִים מִנִּי-רָגֶל; דַּלּוּ מֵאֱנוֹשׁ
נָעוּ. job 28:4

הִנֵּה מִשְׁמַנֵּי הָאָרֶץ, יִהְיֶה מוֹשָׁבֶךָ, וּמִטַּל הַשָּׁמַיִם, מֵעָל.
gen 27:39

in ruth 1:12 i see both the comparative and the impediment. as to her age,

i leave the speculations to the experts...
