Rashi, on Lam 1:4

“Daleth. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down: her priests sigh: her virgins are in affliction, and she is oppressed with bitterness.”

“because no one comes to the appointed season the pilgrims who went up for the festivals. her maidens grieve Heb. נוּגוֹת, an expression of grief (יָגוֹן), and there is no radical but the “gimmel” alone.”
