-u- : (bound morpheme) This is the empty morpheme that has no meaning.

-al (bound morpheme) is a suffix which makes means of the kind of, pertaining to, related to, etc. and creates an adjective of the noun it supplements.

 Sensual 

Sens(e-ø)- : a perception of external stimulus.

-u- : This is the empty morpheme that has no meaning.

-al : (bound morpheme) is a suffix which makes means of the kind of, pertaining to, related to, etc. and creates an adjective of the noun it supplements.

speed- : the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate.

-o- : -u- : This is the empty morpheme because it adds no value.
