That is to say, that he CHIMed?

Nerevar was a Chimer, the Nerevarine was most likely a Dunmer. Also the Chimer and CHIM are unrelated. It was actually never implied the Nerevarine was Chimer(impossible actually) or Dunmer. In fact, the Nerevarine Prophecy specifically states that the Nerevarine would NOT be a Morrowind native. In other words, he's an outlander. That COULD be a Dunmer form another province, but it makes equal sense for it to be of any race in Tamriel. Interestingly, in the Morrowind game,  the native Dunmer of Morrowind dislike outlander Dunmer the most of any outlander type.
