Catalan renyir and Spanish regañar

I've just made an edit, but accidentally sent it before I was done typing the edit summary.

I meant Catalan renyir and Spanish regañar are verbs and have essentially nothing to do with scold as a noun. They are proper translations of the verb, so I've left them as such.62.57.159.80 18:26, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
