11a, Person about to accept Sumerian shop is a bloomer (5-2-3)

Fleur-de-Lys or Lis?

Which would help the crossing letter with 5d, Europeans taking siestas up, one on deck doffing cap (9) Spaniards or Savoyards? Can't parse either

And finally, 7d, 11 encapsulating old capital, but it's lacking for native American.

I have Iroquois, how does that work?

FLEUR-DE-LIS = a bloomer

person about = self reversed = FLES
to accept = put that^ outside...
sumerian shop = UR DELI

FLE urdeli S
5d: SPANIARDS = europeans

siestas up = naps reversed = SPAN
one = I
deck doffing cap = (c)ARDS
spaniards ... naps + i + (c(ards)
IROQUOIS = native american

11[fleur-de-lis = IRIS
old = O
capital but it's lacking = QU(it)O

IR o quo IS
11 Fleur de lis - IRIS

around

Old - O
Capital lacking it - QU(it)o


Iroquois
Self backwards - person
UR ( old capital of S)
Deli (shop)

Many thanks all - and a happy new year to you
11a: person (SELF) about (FLES) to accept Sumerian (UR) shop (DELI) so FLE-UR-DELI-S

5d: Siestas (NAPS) up (SPAN) one (I) deck (CARDS) doffing cap (ARDS) so SPAN-I-ARDS

7d: 11 (FLEUR DE LIS) is an IRIS old is O capital is QUITO but lacking IT makes QUO so IR-O-QUO-IS

I can't get 20 down 'duck with you on land, might you say?' Can you help with that? Thanks! B--)
