In my Artscroll chumash, on Bereishit 31:53, there is an asterisk next to the two uses of "elohei" which refer to the "god" of Nachor and of "their fathers."
It looks like this
אֱלֹהֵ֨י אַבְרָהָ֜ם *וֵֽאלֹהֵ֤י נָחוֹר֙ יִשְׁפְּט֣וּ בֵינֵ֔ינוּ *אֱלֹהֵ֖י אֲבִיהֶ֑ם וַיִּשָּׁבַ֣ע יַעֲקֹ֔ב בְּפַ֖חַד אָבִ֥יו יִצְחָֽק׃
On the side of the page there is this
חול*
But I'm not sure why that is there. If this is commentary on the fact that the "elohei" reference is not holy (that is, it is a reference to a secular, non-divine object) then why is it written in the text and not in a commentary? The side of the page is usually for notes about reading/pronunciation or large or small letters, not for points of meaning.
--------------Irony Edit------------
I don't see any markings in an actual Tikkun
