If Gods knowledge and mans knowledge is not the same univocally thus rendering God and man analogous in knowledge, then it would in fact be the case that man would know nothing of God. The word 'God' would be insufficient and this whole paragraph would be impossible. Mans words would also fail to communicate correctly to one another. Therefore, Gods and mans knowledge are in fact not analogous but are univocal. God simply knows more quantitatively not qualitatively.
Of course a word may have two or three or more other meanings. But the fact is that a word will not have an infinite array of meanings. In order for a word to mean something it must also not mean something. A cat does not mean a dog, or a horse, but rather it means pussy cat or feline.
