"-basi", Dutch "bes" 'berry') conflated with LL "fraga" or OF "fraie" ‘strawberry’, which explains the shift to [f] from [b], and in turn the final "-se" of "framboise" turned "fraie" into "fraise" (≠ Occitan "fragosta" 'raspberry', Italian "fragola" 'strawberry'. Portuguese "framboesa" 'raspberry' and Spanish

It is endemic to the Society Islands in French Polynesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The grey-green fruit dove is endemic to the French Polynesian islands of Tahiti and Mo'orea. There is an estimated population of 5,000 to 10,000 mature individual birds on the two islands, of which 5,000 - 6,000 live on Mo'orea, at an estimated density of 2-3 birds per hectare. In 1907, the grey-green fruit dove was reportedly very abundant on the two islands.
