what does it mean when there is Verb+Adverb+Verb


> おかげで僕は、辛うじてこいつらへの不信感を **誤魔化せるギリギリに留まっていられた** 。

In English, would we use a comma here? I heard somewhere that Japanese doesn't
use commas in those situations. I feel like the same scenario would be:

世に囁かれる星の数にも届くそれらは、一種の願望である。- I think there should be a comma between 囁かれる and
星. As in "those who are rumored by the world, those who even reach to the
number of stares are kind of a wish"

Is this the same scenario? as in like:

> Thanks to it, I was able to evade the distrust to them, (and) was able to
> stop it with effort.

I am also thinking, why not to add te form in there? like as in

> おかげで僕は、辛うじてこいつらへの不信感を誤魔化せ **て** ギリギリに留まっていられた。

Am I understanding it right? I feel like my translation apart from being
really literal, it is really goofy as well.




There is no strict rule for putting commas. In this case, the predicate part
is long enough and it is reasonable to place a comma (for a pause) after 僕は.

As for the question, ギリギリに is not an adverb here, rather simply a noun ギリギリ +
に meaning _at the limit_. So the sentence means _Thanks to it, I was barely
able to stay at the limit where I could distract the doubts towards them_. (It
is ambiguous what 辛うじて modifies.)
