It tells whether the number of _false_ statements is
odd or even (false for odd, true for even). The number
of true statements can be odd or even, it doesn't change
the overall truth value.

Are these four different individuals??? I thought they were
all names for the same person, Michael Helsem, so that the
four connected statements had all the same truth value (true).
Who are the other three persons?

I think what you want to express is something like:
le se cmene be pa lu'a zo mixael ce zo maikyl ce zo maik,l
ce zo micael. If you use {la} you are talking about someone,
not about a name.
