In Deut 22:11 it states:
<LO) TIL:B.A$ $A75(A+:N"Z CEMER W.PI$:T.IYM YAX:D.FW00>
"You shall not wear Shatnez, wool and linen together."

My question is thus:
Linguistically, is the phrase "wool and linen" a definition of Shatnez (according to Rabbinic Judaism) or an example of Shatnez (according to Karaite Judaism). Or is it ambiguous, and can be read either way?

Thanks in advance
