We consider the result of a wet splicing procedure after the reaction has
run to its completion, or limit, and we try to describe the molecules that
will be present at this final stage. In language theoretic terms the
splicing procedure is modeled as an H system, and the molecules that we want
to consider correspond to a subset of the splicing language which we call
the limit language. We give a number of examples, including one based
on differential equations, and we propose a definition for the limit
language. With this definition we prove that a language is regular if and
only if it is the limit language of a reflexive and symmetric splicing
system.
