Why the same CSS class twice in a row

I saw the following line in a code:

.className.className {
   font-weight: bold;
}

Is there a reason to write this twice?

It is likely used to increase the specificity of the selector.

It would probably be better if it was rewritten to change the source order instead.

It's a typo!
Technically this code will apply to an element with the following classes: "className" or "className". But because one match is enough and they are the same name it doesn't matter.

Typo maybe. below is valid though.

All <li> elements with a class list that includes both "spacious" and "elegant"

For example, class="elegant retro spacious"

li.spacious.elegant {
  margin: 2em;
}

Nope. Maybe just typo. It has no meaning on css.
