We compare our data with a linear spin-wave theory based on a generic nearest-neighbor spin model. We find that a dominant bond-directional Kitaev interaction of order 20 meV is required to explain the energy scale observed in our study. The observed excitations are understood as stemming from optical magnon modes whose intensity is modulated by a structure factor, resulting in the apparent momentum dependence. We also observed diffuse magnetic scattering arising from the short-range magnetic correlation well above <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msub><mi>T</mi><mi>N</mi></msub></math>. In contrast to <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mrow><msub><mi>Na</mi><mn>2</mn></msub><msub><mi>IrO</mi><mn>3</mn></msub></mrow></math>, this diffuse scattering lacks the <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msub><mi>C</mi><mn>3</mn></msub></math> rotational symmetry of the honeycomb lattice, suggesting that the bond anisotropy is far from negligible in <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>?</mi><mo>-</mo><mrow><msub><mi>Li</mi><mn>2</mn></msub><msub><mi>IrO</mi><mn>3</mn></msub></mrow></math>
