He is clearly saying "parietum". I have checked Dorland's, googled and checked OneLook, and see nothing like this. He is not one for making up words. Any ideas? Thanks.

Context would be helpful.

I just remembered that and was coming back to clarify - you beat me to it! He hit his head on a locker in school.

The sentence the word is in, that kind of context.

He hit his head on a locker at school with no loss of consciousness, but has a sore spot on the right parietum.

AND

On his right parietum, there is a swollen, tender area.

What a great resource, and one I'll use often! Thanks so much, Meri. I had to get it in so changed it to parietal area - don't know why I did not think of "bone" instead of "area". However, he was clearly saying parietum. Even though he is not one to make up words he must have this time, because he does not generally slur either. Thanks again.
