    Solution

    I: 'temples spiritually inclined' is coded as 'fg cd qa'. II: 'spiritually old snow' is coded as 'xg cd ry'. III: 'peaked temples snow' is coded as 'lp fg ry'. From statement I and III, we conclude that 'temples' is coded as 'fg'. From statement I and II, we conclude that 'spiritually' is coded as 'cd'. From statement I alone, we conclude that 'inclined' is coded as 'qa'. From statement II and III, we conclude that 'snow' is coded as 'ry'. From statement II alone, we conclude that 'old' is coded as 'xg'. From statement III alone, we conclude that 'peaked' is coded as 'lp'. So, the code for 'peaked inclined old' is 'lp qa xg'.
