Those original gods, the primordial deities of the celestial court (not namby pamby upstarts like Orlanth, Yelm, Humakt or Pamalt) who can be seen as "creating" the Rune in question or, more accurately IMO, "being" purely that Rune, are all so intrinsically linked to the Cosmos that they have the Infinity Rune. So, whilst Humakt has two death runes and is considered to be the holder of death, Kargan Tor would have Death and Infinity, being it's source (disputable as that claim is). A less disputable example would be Chalana Arroy, who is currently the holder of Harmony, whereas Harana Illor is the source and would therefore have Harmony and Infinity. I don't think any of these primoridal gods have any other runes other than infinity plus the one they are responsible as the source for.
All IMO,
