Ferromagnets exhibit not only the familiar precessional magnon bands, but also high-frequency nutational modes originating from spin inertia [1]. In this work, we show that the hybridization between these nutational and precessional branches opens a magnonic gap whose topology can become nontrivial. In a honeycomb ferromagnet, this topological phase is caused by the pseudodipolar coupling, which not only gaps out the well-known precessional Dirac cones [2,3] but also causes precessional and nutational modes to anticross. By computing the Chern numbers of the full magnon spectrum, we demonstrate that the nutational-precessional gap can host chiral, topologically protected edge states. We highlight the role of spin inertia as a source of topological magnonic phenomena.
