Hi

What does 'little more' mean?
Why doesn't it have any article?

Thanks in advance!

There's a difference between " a little more" and "little more". I take "little more" to mean "not much more".

It means 'not much more'. 'More' is a pronoun representing 'more knowledge', which is uncountable. Compare:

I have little more than a pint of apple juice.
I have few more than a dozen apples.
