Good point! I have a tendency to generalize from published sources too widely. When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail...

I see Separation has Carmanian Humakt's higher nature, from which his affinities manifest. Death, for example, is the Separation life and death. If I depict Humakt with a truth affinity, then it is the separation of truth from deceit. The carmanians would certainly revere a god that cleanly separates Truth (that which is in accordance with the will of Idovanus) from the Lie (that which opposes the will of Idovanus).
