The following exchange happens in a manga:

> A: お前の言う事を私に...信じろと?

> B: 貴様の自由だ。俺も立場を危ぶめている.

I know the word 危ぶむ but couldn't find dictionary entries for 危ぶめる. I
considered the possibility that it's just the potential form of 危ぶむ but it
doesn't seem to fit in the context. Is 危ぶめる just a nonstandard equivalent of
危ぶむ?

Meaning of 危ぶめる
I think you're right that it's not the potential form of the godan verb 危ぶむ.
However, the verb 危ぶむ has two forms (from
[大辞林](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E5%8D%B1%E3%81%B6%E3%82%80)):

```

    一（ 動マ五［四］ ）(godan/yodan)
        .....
    二（ 動マ下二 ）(shimo nidan)
    危ない状態にする。 「国家を－・めんとする物／平家 5」
    
```

In particular, the second definition is a shimo nidan verb, which is related
to the modern-day ichidan verb. We can look
[here](https://ja.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%B8%8B%E4%BA%8C%E6%AE%B5%E6%B4%BB%E7%94%A8)
for how a shimo nidan verb is conjugated:

[![ma gyou shimo ni
dan](https://i.stack.imgur.com/vcfpH.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/vcfpH.png)

ている attaches to a verb's 連用形 form, which for this shimo nidan verb would be
危ぶめ. Thus, we would get 危ぶめている, which is the word you saw in your sentence.
The word in your sentence comes from definition 2 above.
