少しも~ない structure

I’m a little confused by the structure described for 少しも~ない.

すこしも + いAdj[くない] + Verb[ない]
すこしも + なAdj[ではない] + Verb[ない]

This structure seems to imply that you must have both an adjective and a verb in the negative form, but the example sentences only have one or the other. Is there something I’m missing, or should the structure be changed to something like:

すこしも + Verb[ない]
すこしも + いAdj[くない]
すこしも + なAdj[ではない]

Nice find! The structure should indeed be three separate functions. Thank you for drawing this to our attention so that we could get it fixed. Cheers!
