It's a homophone in my (British) accent - although I have been told by folk from the country in question that "we" don't pronounce that word well at all and should stick to using the English name for it.

Hi Loubyloo,

On this thread we don't tend to give answers but you can ask for as many hints as you like:-)

3d - 6 letter first name of a "Spice Girl" around an anagram/off of a 6 letter word in the clue - definition is "vocalist" (it's not a specific person more a type of vocalist)

12a - 3 letter "priest" (from the Bible) around 4 letter "jab" then 4 letter "outhouse" - definition is "ordained".
👍
If you need any more hints don't hesitate to ask
