Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'All who pass along the way clap their hands at you; they hiss and wag their heads' over fallen Jerusalem — the passers-by + head-wagging combination is a direct verbal parallel to 'those who passed by... wagging their heads.'
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'All who pass along the way clap their hands at you; they hiss and wag their heads at daughter Jerusalem' applies the passers-by-wagging-the-head gesture to the destroyed temple/city. Mark's mockers — who taunt the destroyer-of-the-temple as they pass by and wag their heads — fold the temple-destruction theme into the head-wagging derision, making Lamentations a coherent secondary echo.
Medium confidencePassersby clap, hiss, and ask of fallen Jerusalem 'Is this the city...?' — the astonished 'What is like the great city?' rhetorical question is a recognized mourning-formula; faint, more directly from Ezek 27:32.
