Related grammar:

1. のみならず "Not only A, but B as well"

2. ただ~のみだ "Only A"

.

Is this a more emphatic version of のみならず specific to nouns? Edit: the first example uses an adjective while adjectives aren't shown in the construction.

I always go by the "if there are more words suggesting the same meaning, it is used for additional emphasis" rule.
