Sounds right to me. Yanafal Tarnils (the man) had a big chip on his shoulder about people being mutilated but not killed: it's what his uncle (the Shah) did to his father (the Satrap of Yuthuppa), after the latter's arrest on trumped-up treason charges. So Yanafali (IMG at least) have a prohibition on mutilating the living, as strong as the known Humakti prohibition on messing around with corpses.
Presumably Humakt dislikes Ikadz because his methods aren't "clean" -- he uses the instruments of Death, but in an agonising and protracted manner. Steve Thomas has a lovely Humakti heroquest (which we'll *have* to publish one of these years), in which Humakt himself undergoes torment at the hands of the Torturer, during his quest to recover the True Sword...
