This sense always uses a pair of nouns or noun phrases, not adjectives. Structurally it contrasts with sense 4: sense 4 compares degrees of a quality using an adjective ('no more accurate than' = equally little accuracy), whereas sense 6 denies membership in both noun categories ('no more a poet than a musician' = not a poet and not a musician). The complement type is the clue: adjectives → sense 4, nouns → sense 6.

文法句型
not ... any more + noun
there isn't/aren't any more
don't/doesn't have any more
用法筆記
This sense always uses the split structure 'not ... any more', never the direct 'no more'. Compare with sense 1, which uses direct 'no more' as a determiner ('there is no more cake') to mean complete exhaustion — nothing left at all. Sense 7 uses the split form ('there isn't any more bread') to mean absence of an additional supply — no extra loaf beyond what is already counted or expected. The split 'not ... any more' structure is a distinct syntactic pattern not found in sense 1.
