Actually no, now that you mention it.  Perhaps I should have said ....yam
analan karuni 'with the Duke's sons'. (And still a tad ambiguous, since
_ana_ simply means child. So it could involve daughters too-- but Kash is a
non-PC, usually-male-by-default, language)

With some previous context--
1) He/She by great good fortune was hired on at the palace library.  But the
Duke had a couple randy sons (or daughters, or a mix)........then analani =
his, the duke's, sons

OR
2) as above, but "the Duke's new wife had these sons by a previous
marriage...." analani = her sons

OR
3) His/Her father was a friend of the Duke's cook, and got him/her a post in
the kitchen.  Now, the cook had a couple oafish sons.........(analani = the
cook's sons)

And also, a _karun_ could be a woman (until I devise a feminine form,
probably karuñe), so....well, anyway.
