I'm not sure what you mean by "unsupported."
Liddell-Scott has no more, no longer, no further, opp. to OUPW (not yet),
Louw-Nida has 67.130 OUKETI; MHKETI: the extension of time up to a point but
not beyond - ‘no longer.’
OUKETI: OUKETI EIMI ACIOS KLHUHNAI UIOS SOU ‘I am no longer fit to be called
your son’ Lk 15.19.
BDAG is the same.
It is hardly a stretch to go from "no further (after this)" to "no longer."
