Nobody downvotes people for that. Actually yous have questions answered like that,too. I'chiliad surprised with your mental attitude.

  • @Matt Эллен: It's airtight equally "general reference", rather than "not a real question". Obviously I personally don't detect the surface meaning of the expression opaque, simply looking at examples in NGrams I'm intrigued that this version (as opposed to no more than) seems to accept a far college proportion of usages in religious contexts. I'm besides struck by fact that many instances of either version could just equally easily have used the word "simply". As a set phrase, it does seem to behave a little oddly.

This is an adjective. Little - Less - Least. It is the opposite of greater. "How long is that? Hmm, I don't know, only no less than 1 metre, and not longer than 2 metres eighter. Possibly 1,5?"
