[encee]

the answer has 3 letters.clue is.it is said that this lady turned to salt?
if my other answers are correct this answer should be L_T

[Christiana]

Lot's wife turned to salt in the Bible. She wasn't named, so Lot is not quite accurate but seems to be the answer

Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt (Bible)

thank you very much

L(ady) + to<< !!

I like the theory Kettledrum, but L is not an accepted abbreviation for lady! I wonder if they meant if you say 'elle' (as in 'she') it sounds like L then, as you say, reverse TO. But no indication of French so maybe not...!

[kettledrum]

Quizmonkey - You are, of course, right in theory ...... but ...... some compilers don't seem to think your rigorous approach is necessary and use the first letter of almost any word as an abbreviation.
encee hasn't given us the source of the clue.

[Clanad]

Extra-Biblical tradition suggests the name of Lot's wife as being Edith or Ildeth (Hebrew), neither of which fits your spaces...
