Maybe Eurmal stood behind Humakt and goaded him into killing Grandfather Mortal or Eurmal grabbed Humakt's arm and directed him to kill Grandfather Mortal. In the end, it was Eurmal's fault and Humakt's deed, although Eurmal the Assassin comes from this myth, so perhaps Eurmal used Humakt the Sword to kill Grandfather Mortal.

I can see Humakti downplaying the Eurmal involvement and Eurmali downplaying the Humakt involvement.
