This identification was wrong, since it is a _MODIFICATION_ of a "imperfect
tense"
called "imperfect consecutive", "wayyiqtol", or "narrative" as you can see
on the patah ("a") under the WAW and dagesh in the preformative (here NUN).

This modified "imperfect" is so called apocopated (i.e. "shortened", i.e. "i"
> "e") variant
in some cases (as in Hifʿīl, or with LAMED-HE or ʿAJIN-ʿAJIN verbs).

This "imperfect consecutive" is used almost exclusively in a narration...
