Well if he's a sword.... I don't realy see the problem.

Note that it's because of what the other gods and spirits do
with death that Humakt severs his relationship to his kin so
that they do not share in his responsibility for what has happened.

Why would he do that if he had no responsibility for what other
gods did with this separate death power? If it is separate from
him, then how come Humakti claim that he IS death?

They're wrong? If he isn't death, then  what is he?
