I know what you are saying about wolfean types of statements, I still think that's just talking about adoption in this particular case with the complete lack of physical similarities between Chenille and Silk.  (Food for thought: it says she's like a female AUK.  How about real misdirection?  Horn thinks Silk is the heir of Typhon and plants clues to hint at it when maybe it was always somebody else)

I really really really think this statement is non-interpretively saying, "although he is [my son silk] not of my body [from my genitals/ from my genetic material], my son [i bought and paid for him and planted him, Silk's my son, I came up with idea] shall be Calde after me"

Don't mean to argue with you so excessively but I just can't read this statement the way you do.  A beast with three horns, sure, I can wiggle, but this time he is saying Silk isn't of his body, though is his son.  If he was grown from a rib or cell, he would be of his body.
