When we say God is a Trinity, are we speaking univocally?

That is, is this knowledge of God the only knowledge that we have that isn’t analogical?

Does that mean that God has relations in the same way that humans do?

CIRCUMCESSION (circumcessio, circumincessio, commeatio, περιχώρησις, συμπεριχώρησις, περιεγχώρησις) “is that property by which the Divine Persons, by reason of the identity of their natures, communicate with each other. It is the internal existence of one Person in the other, without confusion of person or of personality.”

I would say that the Divine Persons of the Trinity have a much more intimate relationship with each other, than humans have with other humans.
 
The Trinity is a Mystery. Understanding more than that can only be given by Almighty God via Mystical Infusion - such understanding cannot be acquired. Best leave it at that.
 
We only have analogical information about God, but is our information about the Trinity also analogical, or oppositely, when we say there are 3 persons who are relations in God, are we stating this absolutely -w/o analogy, unequivocally?

Is any statement made “absolutely”?
