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.
